Training & Events Calendar

Description:
People who abuse children specifically target children who don't have the skills to talk about it. They use this lack of knowledge to keep them silent, shamed, and compliant. Having age-appropriate, open conversations about our bodies, and boundaries is an important step in protecting children. This presentation will teach participants how to talk with and listen to children about abuse and personal safety. This presentation will also teach adults how to react responsibly to a child if they make the choice to disclose.

Target Audience:
This is a special event hosted by BraveBe Child Advocacy Center for the community of Ashland.

Cost:
This training will be offered at no charge to attendees. However, registration is required.

Kudos for the Body Safety Training:
"During the past decade of being a parent, foster parent, volunteer for several youth organizations and Executive Director for Montessori School for Young Children I have participated in a variety of voluntary and required trainings focused on keeping children safe. [BraveBe] Child Advocacy Center’s Body Safety training is one of the most informative and important trainings I’ve attended about the prevention of child sexual abuse. Since attending the training I am more confident in my abilities to have age-appropriate conversations with children about their bodies and boundaries. The take-home materials and additional resources I received from [BraveBe] Child Advocacy Center have been extremely helpful. I encourage every parent and adult I know who works with children to attend this training!" --Emily
