SUMMARY:Keeping Faith: Empowering Faith Communities to Recognize and Respond to Child Maltreatment
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis is a 2-day training sponsored by Southwest Crisis Center\, Nobles County Attorney’s Office\, Zero Abuse Project\, and the Worthington\, MN Police Department. \nThis course empowers faith communities to recognize and respond to cases of sexual abuse\, physical abuse\, emotional abuse\, and neglect. Included are discussions detailing the impact of child abuse on a victim’s sense of spirituality and offering concrete suggestions for working with medical and mental health professionals to assist a child in coping with maltreatment. The course also discusses ideal child protection policies for a faith-based institution\, including handling a situation in which a convicted sex offender seeks to join a congregation. A review of various child abuse case scenarios and a discussion on appropriate and inappropriate responses allows for real-life problem-solving and feedback. Find the agenda of this training here and their event flyer. \nWhy is this training important for every faith community? \n\n93% of sex offenders describe themselves as being ‘religious’\n20% of 2864 church leaders knew of at least one convicted sex offender who was attending or was a member of their church (Christianity Today 2010)\nChild Abuse Survivor Quote: “I went online to every faith community in my area trying to find a place in which I felt safe to worship.\nNone of them gave me any information about their community’s safety policies\, so I just gave up trying.”\n\nIntended Audience \n\nClergy\nChaplains\nYouth ministers\nFaith leaders\nCounselors\nOther members of a faith community who may work with children or families impacted by child abuse.\n\nRegister through Southwest Crisis Center\n
