1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthday and the perpetrators walk among us, undetected. But much of abuse is predictable and preventable when we surround children with knowledgeable and outspoken adults. In this webinar, you will learn to recognize risky behaviors, establish boundaries that intercede with those behaviors, and respond boldly when boundaries are violated and in the unfortunate case that abuse does occur. You will also become familiar with how to engage other adults in the process of protecting children because we all play a part in the solution!


Learning Objectives

  • Understand the basics of the child sexual abuse pandemic and prevention best practices
  • Learn the seductive grooming behaviors that are apparent in child molesters before they abuse
  • Become familiar with boundaries that intercede with those behaviors
  • Feel empowered to respond appropriately to sexual abuse and behavioral boundary violations
  • Be prepared to ask questions of the youth-serving organizations where your children participate
