Stewards of Children How do we spot a child who is being sexually abused?
What do we do when our suspicions about a child being abused prove to be a reality?
While we prepare our churches to be a “safe sanctuary,” some times home is not a safe sanctuary for a child, especially one who is sexually abused. It’s hard to know what to do when we suspect a child is being abused. Often we are afraid and hesitant to act, but what can we do about it?
All adults serving children or youth in our church are invited to help protect the children entrusted to them by attending “Stewards of Children” – a half day workshop facilitated by Jane Donovan to educate adults how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse and to courageously take action. Jane has long tenure as an educator and child advocate committed to making a difference in the fight against child abuse.
