Learn How To Use Your Voice

Every child deserves to feel cared for and safe in everyday environments and interactions. Reporting abuse to ensure access to support is critical to ensuring that children do, yet knowing when to report and what to report can be difficult. Mandated reporters who can surpass their own biases can distinguish between abuse, neglect, and childhood experiences so that necessary reports are accurate and substantiated.

This state training is required for all educators and some other mandated reporters to receive their teaching certificate/license. The tools inside equip teachers, administrators, school counselors, psychologists, and those in supervisory and caregiving roles to promote safety and uphold standards of care for all children. Reporting abuse to the SCR is a serious process, and with the right tools, mandated reporters will become confident about when to engage in it.

Keeping Kids Safe, One Workshop at a Time

Even though this workshop is only required once, the principles inside last a lifetime. Implementing the Child Abuse Prevention process to identify and report abuse properly ensures that children are seen, heard, and supported in a variety of situations.

Inside your Workshops Express training, you'll find everything you need to understand the nuances of child neglect, harm, maltreatment, and abuse. By the end of this course, you'll be able to follow best practices for reporting.
