Protecting the Future: Child Abuse and Safe-at-Home Orders
The abuse people suffer in childhood can impact the rest of their lives. And ironically, social distancing and safe-at-home orders may not keep them safe. In this presentation, we explain the warning signs of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and provide strategies to help keep your children safe in person and online. Find out what you can do to help protect a child who is being abused.
This webinar is intended for those who want to learn what child abuse is, how to recognize child abuse, and how to respond to child abuse (personally and legally).

Unsafe at Home: Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Sheltering in Place
Current conditions of enforced isolation and generalized fear play to the advantage of abusive partners.

Help is still available for people who need it… it just looks different. Find out how you can provide safety and hope in a time when both seem in short supply.
This webinar is intended for those who want to know what domestic violence is, how to recognize domestic violence, and how to support survivors of domestic violence and assist in developing a safety plan.
