DonateEMPOWER SAFE ADULTS TO STOP CHILD EXPLOITATION

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. All of our trainers have LIVED experiences and have been professionally trained in public communication skills.
Significant consideration of a learner’s potential trauma history is also factored into our processes. As a result, sensitive content is divided and rated (PG, PG-13, & R) and provided in self-direct learning options. We have taken extensive measures to provide pertinent information without unnecessary, graphic, or explicit details.

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.
