Our children can only be safe when the adults in their lives understand the attitudes and behaviors of a perpetrator. This training was an eye opener!" |

Educating
the Community
Child sexual abuse is a public health problem
and a community concern. Children are born happy, creative and innocent,
but they are vulnerable to the manipulations of others. It is the
responsibility of adults to protect the youngest in our society.

Helping Children and Adolescents at the Source

Thousands of children have learned the concepts of personal safety,

Empowering Parents
We truly believe that parents are a child's best
teacher. But teaching the children about the difficult subject of
child sexual abuse can be scary. Our programs reduce the fear, help
parents with these difficult topics and teach concrete ways to discuss
child sexual abuse issues with their children.

Faith Based Programs
Churches are generally thought of as places where
individuals can feel safe, places free of unwanted advances, pressures
and abuse, where communities and victims seek support and healing.
But churches, synagogues and faith-based institutions are not immune
from the disturbing problem of sexual abuse. Family Support Line helps
you accomplish the difficult task of training staff, talking out
the concerns, and fielding the questions and doubts.
