How Your Youth-Serving Organization Can Be An Effective Agent of Prevention: Insights from Prevention Global

Training description

This webinar is for professionals in youth-serving settings, such as schools, community programs, and other child- and youth-focused organizations. It is especially relevant for leaders and decision-makers responsible for policy, culture, and safeguarding practices within an organization, as well as practitioners and child protection staff who implement prevention strategies.

Child abuse is preventable, and youth-serving organizations are essential allies in that prevention. Every year, these organizations engage tens of millions of children worldwide, creating opportunities to promote safety and wellbeing. In this webinar, Drs. Letourneau and Assini-Meytin, together with Mr. Ó Dochartaigh and Ms. Roe Cropp, discuss the practical applications of their work with Prevention Global and share a simple but vital message: prevention isn’t an option; it’s a necessity and a shared responsibility.

Prevention Global is an international hub for information on effective prevention. It develops knowledge products, compiles research, and creates other tools that inform policy, practice, and funding decisions. Its mission is to support courageous action and help drive lasting impact for our children in every setting: where they live, learn, and grow.

This webinar discussion invites leaders and practitioners to explore how these findings can help build safer environments, establish prevention as an organizational value, and work collectively to protect children from sexual abuse.
