Keeping children safe in a fast-paced and often volatile world requires a partnership between care givers and the children that they care for. Most adults do not understand how violence happens to children or how to prevent perpetrators from gaining access to children. This seminar shows participants how to work together to avoid harm. It arms care givers with the knowledge of who the perpetrators of crime are and how to identify them before they strike and gives children skills and strategies for staying safe. Participants leave this seminar feeling more relieved and competent.
