Course Description:

"1 in 10 children will be a victim of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. This training, Darkness to Light – Stewards of Children (www.d2l.org), is an evidence-informed, award-winning two-hour training that teaches adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Through interviews with child sexual abuse survivors, experts, and treatment providers, Stewards of Children® teaches adults practical actions they can take to reduce instances of child sexual abuse in their organizations, families, and communities. In addition to the Stewards of Children facilitation, this training will also include a tour and overview of services provided by the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan. The CAC works closely with DHHS, Law Enforcement, Prosecutors office, and Spectrum Lakeland Health to aid in their investigations of child abuse by providing specialized forensic interviews, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for child victims and their families, and prevention education for children and adults.
