sexual abuse?

Training. This training is a documentary style teaching tool outlining the
parallel roads to prevention, protecting yourself from allegations and
knowing the signs victims demonstrate.

hear from survivors, and how to be accountable.
Each Stewards of Children training is led by an authorized facilitator from Susie’s Place. Susie’s Place facilitators foster interaction, insight, and compassion amongst every
attendee.
Through a series of real-life survivor stories, educational workbook, insightful group discussion and fact-based tips from experts in the field, your group will learn all aspects of prevention.
What You’ll receive
An interactive workbook and accompanying DVD featuring segments of sexual abuse survivors relating their stories of violation and healing. Other sections include the author of the curriculum and from professionals who work daily in the fight against sexual violence.
