Learning Objectives:
Highlight a free online course designed for different stages of development for children to learn how to identify safe and unsafe situations; and how to seek help from a trusted adult when faced with an unsafe situation.
Adolescence is a time of rapid development in the body and mind. Resources will be provided that help adolescents find answers to the questions they are unable to ask otherwise and provide support to initiate and respond to sensitive topics so that they can begin to have healthy conversations with those around them.
Provide resources that equip professionals and caregivers with the knowledge and vocabulary needed to understand the issue of Child Sexual Abuse, while simultaneously giving them necessary information pertaining to legal interventions, Personal Safety Education, handling disclosures, the impact of abuse and the subsequent healing process in a concise and comprehensive manner.
