Holy Trinity will be hosting a Virtus Training:  Protecting God's Children® for Adults
Protecting God's Children® for Adults is training conducted by VIRTUS® certified facilitators on the prevention of child sexual abuse.  The training makes participants aware of the signs of child sexual abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse, and five easy steps one can use to prevent child sexual abuse.  Two videos are the centerpiece of the training:  A Time to Protect God's Children™ and A Plan to Protect God's Children™.  The facilitators incorporate policies and procedures into the training defining child sexual abuse, addressing the reporting of child sexual abuse, the screening and selection of employees and volunteers, and victim advocacy.
This is a 3 hour session.
Participants must arrive on time in order to be admitted to the session.  All participants in Protecting God’s Children must be 18 years or older/ No minors even with parents.  Please call the Parish Office to Register:  (310) 548-6535
