Darkness to Light May 4, 2010
Posted by agadsby in : Uncategorized , add a commentI recently completed training on child safety by an organization known as Darkness to Light. Darkness to Light’s mission is to empower people to prevent childhood sexual abuse. Their programs “raise awareness of the prevalence and consequences of child sexual abuse by educating adults about the steps they can take to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to the reality of child sexual abuse. ”
The training was straight foward, practical, and effective in forcing me to consider how not only myself but also the ministies I am involved in can be structured to help prevent childhood sexaul abuse. One thing that each of our churches can do right now is to evalute any and all instances where there may be one child/one adult situations. If we elimate one child/one adult situations, we have taken a huge step in preventing abuse. Take time, evaluate your programs and take action.
More to information will follow on this imporant topic.
