FAQs About Our
Prevention Workshop
What type of content is covered during the online prevention workshop?
We cover what defines contact vs. non-contact sexual abuse, how to identify the grooming process, behavioral and physical symptoms of sexual abuse, the link between sexual abuse and pornography, how to open the door to honest conversations with children, and several other topics directly related to predatory behavior. We also go over the steps to take if you believe your child is being sexually abused. Due to the workshop's mature and explicit content, we strongly recommend that children be absent.

Our online and in-person prevention workshops last approximately two hours, but may run longer, depending on the duration of the Q&A session.
