The Greater Richmond SCAN, the Virginia Department of Health and Prevent
Child Abuse Virginia are sponsoring a Stewards of Children Facilitator
Training on March 30 in Richmond.

Stewards of Children is a nationally recognized child sexual abuse
prevention program developed by the Darkness to Light Foundation. The
goal of Darkness to Light is to diminish the incidence and impact of
child sexual abuse and to raise awareness of the prevalence and
consequences of child sexual abuse in communities. More information on
the national training is available at www.darkness2light.org

This training will allow you to become a facilitator of the Stewards of
Children model. Once you complete this one-day training, you will be

community.

The Stewards of Children program is designed for organizations,
agencies, and corporations that serve children and youth. The Stewards
of Children curriculum can be used by groups who:

* Seek training for staff and volunteers in the prevention of
child sexual abuse
* Want to make a difference in their community by educating adults
about the protection of children
* Need to respond to insurance requirements regarding child
protection
* Want to enhance community training initiatives and develop
potential sources of revenue

It is also appropriate for parents and/or caregivers to attend the
training who have an interest in preventing child sexual abuse.

This training will occur on Monday, March 30th from 8:15 am to 5:30 pm.
