Free Stewards of Children Training for Educators – Aug 4, 2011
On Thursday, Aug 4, 2011, The First Presbyterian Church of Jacksonville is partnering with the Children’s Advocacy Center to present a workshop designed specifically for educators interested in learning what they can do to prevent child abuse in our community.
In this day of information, discussion, and friend-making, participants will learn how to:
- Take steps to protect the children around them from abuse
- Spot the signs of possible abuse.
- Act effectively and safely when they suspect abuse
The Darkness to Light, Stewards of Children training, is followed by lunch and an open discussion with staff members of the Children’s Advocacy Center. Workshop hours: 9am – 2pm; 425 Middle Street, Jacksonville. There is no cost to attend. Pre-registration is required.
The Children’s Advocacy Center serves over 800 child and teen survivors of abuse each year. Services include interviews with legal officials in a safe, nurturing setting; specialized medical exams; therapy services; mentoring groups; and supportive services to non-offending family members.
