Child Sexual Abuse Prevention
We all have a role to play in preventing child sexual abuse and ensuring that our children have the foundation to become healthy adults. Our Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children® initiative is part of The Ford Family Foundation’s statewide Protect Our Children project that is dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse.
Get Trained
Whether you work with youth, are a parent, or a member of a community, our Darkness to Light trainings can prepare you to help recognize and prevent child sexual abuse.
