Having age-appropriate, open conversations about our bodies, sex, and boundaries is an important step in protecting children.

Talking about personal safety and sex creates a protective bond between parent and child, increases confidence for both, and instills knowledge that makes children and teens much less vulnerable. Building on the education provided in Stewards of Children®, Darkness to Light’s evidence-based training on preventing, recognizing, and reacting responsibly to child sexual abuse, you will learn ways to confidently talk with children and listen to their concerns about sexual abuse and personal safety. It is highly recommended that participants complete Stewards of Children® prior to taking the course. 

What are the outcomes? 

During the training, you will hear compelling stories from experts and survivors about how talking to kids can help prevent sexual abuse. You will also: 

• Define why relationships and resilience are the building blocks of safety for children.
• Recognize how to talk about personal safety with children of all ages.
• Explore everyday opportunities to talk with children about sexual abuse using scenarios and interactive exercises.

* Facilitator-led versions—offered both in-person and virtually—are currently provided under the title Talking with Children about Safety from Sexual Abuse. The updated Child Safety Foundations version, Conversations About Safety from Abuse, will be available in these formats starting this fall.
