In 2006, the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy launched a campaign to significantly address the epidemic of child sexual abuse by adding the Stewards of Children curriculum Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training to its traditional response services. 
 
        The ultimate vision is to make prevention a priority in every county and city in Georgia.  This focus on prevention  will require adults to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to protect the  children in their care. Specifically, the goal is to provide training to ONE MILLION Georgia adults by 2020.  We invite you to be a part of our milestones to a million committing to taking the training this year.

    I am interested in participating in the D2L Stewards of Children Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training.
Stewards of Children is the only nationally available program scientifically proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and change child-protective behaviors. This revolutionary program is for any responsible adult who cares about the welfare of children. It is also appropriate for adults involved in youth-serving organizations (sports leagues, day care centers, after school programs, children’s clubs, church groups and more).

What Topics are Covered in Stewards of Children?
  • Facts about the problem of child sexual abuse.    
  • Situations which increase the likelihood and opportunity for child sexual abuse to occur.   
  • Simple, effective strategies for protecting children from sexual abuse.   
  • The importance of talking about the prevention of sexual abuse with children and other adults.   
  • Recognizing signs of sexual abuse
  • Methods and legal requirements for responding appropriately.

What are the Expected Outcomes of the Training?
  • Gain an increased awareness of the prevalence, consequences and circumstances of child sexual abuse. 
  • Gain new skills for adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse    
  • Obtain information to assist in making proactive, positive changes to organizational policies and procedures.     
  • Assistance in creating personalized prevention plan.
