It Takes a Village: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention

In this learning session, Darkness to Light’s director of social behavior change, Lia Gil, will discuss the 5 Steps to Protecting Children™ and ways Darkness to Light is changing organizational culture by addressing policies, systems, and environmental factors to create a culture of child protection for organizations that serve youth. While many of us grew up with warnings of “stranger danger,” the truth is most children who experience sexual abuse are victimized by someone they and their family know and trust. Darkness to Light’s mission is to empower adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.

During this session participants will learn:

• How to identify grooming and red flag behaviors
• Ways to minimize opportunities for would-be offenders
• Ways to increase child protection practices
• How an organization can create a culture of child protection
