Darkness to Light© Training with KIDS Center

Develop the tools for recognizing the signs of sexual abuse.

Registration is required.

Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children is a 2.5-hour interactive training program providing participants with 5 steps to better protect children from sexual abuse. This training gives adults tools for recognizing the signs of sexual abuse, responding to suspicions, and simple ways to minimize opportunities for abuse in organizations and in our community. This training is ideal for any adult in our community who has interactions with children.

KIDS Center is a medical model Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) providing child abuse evaluations that include a head-to-toe medical exam, child-friendly forensic interview, family advocacy, and mental health services to children and families impacted by abuse. In addition, our services include prevention programs to help teach adults in our community how to better protect children from abuse. Children are referred for a KIDS Center evaluation by one of four community partners including law enforcement, DHS Child Welfare, medical providers, and licensed mental health professionals. Children and families can engage in KIDS Center advocacy and mental health services without participating in an evaluation. All of KIDS Center services are provided at no cost.
