About this Event

CHILD SAFETY STARTS WITH US

Every child deserves a childhood filled with love and safety, yet too many children and families face challenges no one should ever encounter.

The 2026 Child Abuse Prevention Symposium brings together advocates to address critical issues, including mental health, domestic violence and father engagement.

Through practical discussions, survivor-informed approaches, and interactive sessions, you will gain tools to promote security and healing.

Please join us in a shared commitment to care and compassion, ensuring every child grows up safe and supported.



The conference fee is $25, which includes CEUs, access to all speakers, lunch, materials and a conference take-home kit.


Registration closes March 6, 2025.



6 CEU's will be provided through the Indiana Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor Board to provide Category 1 Continuing Education Programs for LSW, LCSW, LMFT and LMHC.
