Resources for Caregivers

Parent & Caregiver Prevention Education Training

  • Most parents do not think twice about teaching their children how to cross the street safely. Teaching children how to keep their bodies safe from sexual abuse should be just as natural.
  • This session empowers caregivers with the knowledge and tools needed to begin this difficult conversation.
  • Topics include abuse statistics, facts/myths, caretaker choices, how to talk to your child (including proper terms for private body parts), signs and symptoms of child abuse, and how to respond to a disclosure or suspected abuse.

Understanding Trauma and the Impact on Children Training

  • This workshop will provide an overview of trauma and trauma-informed practices to professionals, parents, and individuals providing direct care to children and adolescents.
  • Training topics include defining and understanding trauma, the impact of trauma across the lifespan, effects of trauma on the brain, common trauma reactions, and best practices for responding to children after a traumatic event.
