Preventing Child Abuse
Join us in creating a safer future for children in our community. For every one adult that takes our training, it is estimated that 10 children are safer and less likely to become victims of sexual abuse.
Stewards of Children
Our Stewards of Children child sexual abuse prevention training is for parents, or adults who work with or volunteer with kids. Stewards is smart, evidence based, and empowering. It has been shown to work. Adults who take the training follow up with actions that help keep kids safe. The two hour training at Hope House—or online—includes facilitator-led discussion, interactive workbook activity, and compelling video featuring experts, parents, and adult survivors of abuse. Stewards of Children goes beyond awareness—it provides skills. Participants learn specific concrete actions that they can take, as individuals and as a part of bigger organizations, that work to protect children.

Play It Safe!
Our Play It Safe!® child abuse awareness and prevention program uses age-appropriate, evidence-based materials to educate children Pre-K through high school in ways they can reduce their risk of abuse. The program teaches children how to recognize potentially abusive behavior, respond appropriately to threatening situations, and report abuse to a trusted adult. Some of the program topics include safe, unsafe, and confusing touch for elementary-aged children; and sexting, healthy relationships and dating violence for middle and high school-aged children. The one-hour trainings are offered in person at local schools, churches and other organizations.
Partners in Prevention Training at Your Business
Partners in Prevention utilizes the Stewards of Children training, but is designed to train company employees in a group setting in their own workplace. Like our regular monthly trainings online, this free, two-hour session will equip participants with specific, concrete actions they can take to protect children in the community from sexual abuse. The trainings are open to all businesses in all industries, not just those that work directly with children. At the end of the training, the business will receive recognition on Hope House’s Facebook page.
