Stewards of Children

Stewards of Children is a comprehensive sexual abuse prevention training program that educates adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The Stewards of Children program is designed for individuals and organizations that serve children and adolescents, providing prevention training for staff, volunteers, parents, and other interested adults.

Core Features of the Stewards of Children Training:

* A video integrating segments of sexual abuse survivors relating their stories of violation and healing, with segments from the author of the curriculum and from professionals who interface daily with the problem of sexual abuse.

* An interactive workbook for each participant.

* Discussion about critical issues in sexual abuse prevention and the relevance of these issues within organizations that serve children and adolescents. Led by an authorized facilitator – Sandy Barber, Executive Director of the Fannin County Children’s Center.

* Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training class. 

What participants have said about the workshop:

• “I thought it was great. I can't wait until entire community has attended & become more aware.”

• “This training was perfect for me as an employee of our school district. Very informative.”

• “The program was great – very informative not only to implement in our jobs but in our homes too, with our own children, to make our world a better place for all the precious children.”

• “I thought this training needs to be mandatory for everyone who works with children in our church."
