Event Description:

Phoenix (December 12, 2011) – One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Fewer than one in 10 will ever tell.

With the recent news of child abuse hitting the airways across the country, Phoenix Children’s Hospital will host a free Stewards of Children child abuse prevention class on Wednesday, January 11^th, 2012 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rosenberg Medical Plaza, Cohen Conference Center, 1920 E.

Phoenix Children’s is eager to take action against child sexual abuse by educating the community on how to prevent this epidemic in real time. The award-winning prevention training, Stewards of Children, is proven to change beliefs, actions and attitudes towards child sexual abuse. The training was developed by Darkness to Light, a national non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of child sexual abuse. The organization has trained over 2,200 Facilitators in 47 states and 10 countries. Over 173,000 adults have been trained in Stewards of Children since its implementation in 2005.

Stewards of Children is a three-hour workshop designed to educate adults on how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to the reality of child sexual abuse and emphasizes child safety as an adult’s responsibility. The training is FREE and is open to the public. Parents, youth sports organizations / coaches / camp counselors, youth service organizations, teachers / school personnel and faith centers are encouraged to attend. Each participant will be inspired to take personal responsibility in preventing this epidemic.
