CHILD ABUSE

Child Sexual Abuse

Lampion Center is boldly stepping forward with a comprehensive, community wide program to prevent and treat child sexual abuse.  We know that child sexual abuse is prevalent in our community and across the nation.  This abuse is preventable and the time to act is now. 

Phase one of this project is already completed.  Twenty five professionals from our city became fully certified facilitators of the Stewards of Children program and, as such, they are now able to train others in pro-active strategies to protect children from sexual abuse. 

Phase two will be sharing these prevention steps and strategies with civic groups, churches, day care centers, after school programs, other non profit agencies, and the community at large.  To receive this training on-line, visit: www.darknesstolight.org Stewards of Children page.  In the coming months, a positive media campaign will help reinforce the message.

Phase three is of utmost importance- Expanding the availability of Lampion Center's treatment services to care for those who have already suffered.  Lampion Center is the leader in treatment for sexually abused children, adults, and their families.  Expanded awareness will bring increased requests for services and we are dedicated to meeting these needs without delay.
