Stewards of Children
Sexual Abuse Prevention Program
Statistics suggest that 1
in 10 children will be sexually abused by the age of 18. Ninety percent of
children who are sexually abused are violated by someone they know and trust. This
includes youth leaders of all types: teachers, coaches, ministers, mentors,
counselors, parents and other youth.
Darkness to Light's Stewards
of Children sexual abuse prevention program takes a direct and comprehensive approach to the problem of
sexual abuse within youth-serving organizations. A compelling video, the core
of the curriculum, includes the stories of several courageous individuals who
were victims of sexual abuse as children and who have contributed a great deal
of time and effort as adults toward ending the cycle of abuse.
Please
choose to take action in the prevention of child sexual abuse and schedule a
Darkness to Light Stewards of Children training today.
