Stewards of Children [08-27-24] IN PERSON

Description: Stewards of Children® is an evidence-informed, award-winning training that teaches adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Through interviews with child sexual abuse survivors, experts, and treatment providers, Stewards of Children® teaches adults practical actions they can take to reduce instances of child sexual abuse in their organizations, families, and communities.

Stewards of Children® is the only evidence-informed, adult-focused child sexual abuse prevention training in the United States proven to increase knowledge and change behavior. Numerous studies have shown that Darkness to Light’s prevention education works and evidence-informed training can change child protective behaviors. Studies include:

• A Center for Disease Control funded study conducted by the National Crime Victims Research Center that found that Darkness to Light’s training changes and strengthens adult child-protective behaviors.
• Data compiled in South Carolina by noted researcher Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, suggesting citizens trained in the Stewards of Children® program report previously unrecognized abuse at a higher rate than in other communities
• A study conducted in Texas that found educators trained using the Stewards of Children® program increased their reporting of previously unrecognized abuse by 82% in the year following training.
