Stewards of Children is a sexual abuse prevention program aimed at teaching adults to recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The Stewards of Children training program was designed by Darkness to Light, a national organization, with the mission to empower people to prevent child sexual abuse.

The curriculum can be used by any adult, organization or business that wants:

• Evidence-based training in the prevention of child sexual abuse.
• To make a difference in their community by educating adults about the protection of children.
• To respond to insurance requirements regarding child protection. 

The 2.5 hour program includes:

• An interactive workbook and a 7 Steps Guide for each participant containing the full program curriculum.
• A one-hour DVD integrating Stewards of Children curriculum and commentary from professionals who interface with this problem.
• Open discussion about important issues in sexual abuse prevention and the relevance of these issues within organizations that serve children and adolescents.

After the training participants will:

• Understand the facts of child sexual abuse - incidence rates and effects on individuals and society.
• Understand how child sexual abuse happens, and that adults are responsible for the protection of children.
• Have resources to react responsibly to incidents of abuse.
• Understand the proactive role youth-serving organizations must take to protect children and educate their communities about child sexual abuse.
