Recognize the Red Flags to Help Prevent Child Abuse
Session Description
New stories about child sexual abuse are unfortunately becoming more common. Many of us work in settings with chidren and play a role in their safety. This session will cover information to help participants understand some of the misconceptions about child sexual abuse, recognize some of the red flags predators often exhibit, and learn about child abuse prevention training developed by Abuse Prevention Systems.
