Stewards of Children
Advanced Certification in Perinatal Care from the Joint Commission
No more secrets, no more stolen childhoods
The reality:
- 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18
- Roughly 57,000 cases of sexual abuse are reported each year
- Sexual abuse is an ACE (adverse childhood experience) and contributes to poor health outcomes for victims
The vision:
- All trusted adults are aware of the signs and symptoms to prevent abuse from happening
- Childhood sexual abuse is part of the conversation and training model for all mandated reporters
- Adult victims access available resources, begin their path to healing and become survivors
GBMC has partnered with No More Stolen Childhoods to bring a unique, evidenced-informed training session, with GBMC SAFE nurses. Stewards of Children is a two-hour training that teaches adults practical actions to prevent child sexual abuse or intervene if abuse is suspected. This 2-hour course is suited for community leaders, PTA/PTO, sports leagues, coaches, school groups, youth groups, and parents.
