Churches have tended in the past not to do the right thing in terms of protecting children and vulnerable adults from abuse. What does “the right thing” look like and how do we get there?
This one-hour webinar with Rev. Dr. Sarah M. Rieth will equip your congregation with some of the tools and knowledge necessary to be a place of safety and trust.
This webinar will provide you with:
- An ethical framework for risk reduction and protecting the vulnerable
- An understanding of the basics of prevention and intervention of abuse within a congregation
- Resources, strategies and tools to strengthen your congregation’s policies and procedures
