The Need for Advocacy Training

Continuing Education & Online Courses

10.18 is here to provide you with training that meets your personal and continuing education needs in convenient self-paced online courses. Our training content has been curated by those with lived and professional experiences to provide you with the most diverse and reality-based training possible. There are three primary reasons that we prioritize training as an organization:

Training How to Keep Kids Safe

Prevention is the Primary Goal

Prevention is much easier than picking up the shattered pieces of a child’s life. Perpetrators’ techniques change with time, but their behavior patterns are consistent. The key to child safety is recognizing these behavior patterns to reduce risk and improve early intervention.

Advocacy is a Needed Skill

Communicating and prioritizing our desires, opinions, and perspectives is human nature. Amid complex situations, these tendencies are heightened. Advocacy training can help you develop skills to minimize these predispositions and produce professional advocacy for another.

Child-Centered Must be the priority

A child-centered approach in advocacy prioritizes the child’s interests and needs above other parties involved. Child-centered includes safeguarding the child from adult burdens, promoting their welfare, and prioritizing their physical and emotional well-being.

SPECIAL MESSAGE

Our training courses are constructed with extensive collaboration with field experts, frontline workers, and victims, including reviewing industry best practices, federal reports, and academic studies. We have committed to using examples and scenarios from real-life stories. Also, we took significant consideration of a learner’s potential trauma history. As a result, sensitive content is divided and rated (PG, PG-13, & R) so you can self-direct your learning. We have taken extensive measures to provide pertinent information without unnecessary or explicit details.
