One in every ten children will be sexually abused before they turn 18, and predators are often known and trusted by the family.

Before you send your child to camps this summer, ask what they're doing to prevent child sexual abuse in their organizations. Are children ever alone with adults? Are children ever alone together? How are bathroom breaks or clothing changes handled? Let us help you get educated on the facts by scheduling a FREE Darkness to Light child abuse prevention training. No group is too large or small. Churches, camps, schools, daycares, medical facilities, and concerned individuals are among the groups we commonly train.
