Georgia Center for Child Advocacy
– Georgia’s Prevention Initiative starts with the premise that adults are responsible for the safety of children. But many adults feel unable to protect children from sexual abuse because they do not know enough about the problem or the steps they can take to reduce the risk. This Stewards of Children Prevention Training provides training for adults and teachers on signs of sex abuse displayed by children. There is a cost for this program. See
http://georgiacenterforchildadvocacy.org/what-we-do/prevention/stewards-of-children.html
for more information.
