Preventing child abuse is possible but we must be willing to have the conversation and learn the truth about it.
Child abuse is an issue that affects every community. It happens regardless of race, economic status, religious affiliation, or geographic location.
Significantly, it is possible to prevent abuse from occurring through extensive community education, awareness and prevention training programs. Davis House currently offers our programs at no cost.
Our trainings are appropriate for the following types of organizations:
**Our programs meet state mandate requirements, as well as POST approved certification.
We offer a range of training options to best accommodate your needs In addition to the programs we offer, we can also create a customized training specific to your organization. We offer a program ranging from 3 hours down to a 15-minute awareness presentation, and no group is too small. We simply appreciate you wanting to have this important conversation to help your group or organization be better equipped to help make your community safer for children.
