Child Sexual Abuse can be prevented --- but only with the awareness and action of our WHOLE community… so we invite all adults, 18 and over, to attend!  Please come learn how you too can help safeguard our children at a FREE Virtus® session.  To work or volunteer in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, all clergy, staff, and volunteers must hold a current and active VIRTUS certification.  For your convenience we will be offering the following session in the parish center auditorium (209 N. Hanford Ave.) as follows:

• "Keeping the Promise Alive" Re-certification: Saturday, March 21st from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30am

Mark your Calendar:  Saturday, March 21st at 9:00am
Holy Trinity will be hosting a Virtus Training:  "Keeping the Promise Alive™ Refresher Program"
Keeping the Promise Alive is a refresher program that provides ongoing awareness for the prevention of child sexual abuse.  The material covered in Keeping the Promise Alive is designed to identify and reinforce the lessons of the original Protecting God's Children® for Adults program.  For example, some of the more challenging aspects of the sessions are clarified to strengthen the participants' ability to recognize risky behavior in their environments and take action to intervene in potentially threatening situations.  This program answers the questions, "What have been some results of the Protecting God's Children program, and what else can we all do to keep youth safe?"
This is a 1 hour 30 minute session.
Participants must arrive on time in order to be admitted to the session.  All participants in Keeping the Promise Alive must be 18 years or older/ No minors even with parents. Participants whose current certificate has not yet expired may attend 1 ½ hr. “Keeping the Promise Alive” recertification. “This session reviews the “Five Steps” for protecting children and young people from child sexual abuse and helps participants explore ways that their parish/school/community has become a safer place because these steps have been implemented.
