Free Child Abuse Awareness Trainings

To help adults better understand the signs, symptoms, and effects of abuse on our communities, you’re invited to attend or request a free training.

These trainings are open to everyone, but are vitally important for people who work around children. You’ll learn how to prevent child abuse, recognize the signs when it does happen, and how to react to allegations. Learn more about D2L Trainings.

All materials are provided and everyone who completes this training will receive a certificate of completion.
