Darkness to Light Training Available for Your Church
Darkness to Light is a non-profit organization dedicated to “empowering adults to prevent child sexual abuse” (d2l.org). We offer a free two-hour certificate class to any church that is ready to equip their people to prevent, recognize and respond to incidents of child sexual abuse. ACGC has three certified facilitators on staff that will deliver this training as travel and schedule allows.
The facilitator-led group training utilizes the following:
- A two-part DVD presentation with commentary from sexual abuse survivors, experts in the field and concerned adults.
- Facilitator-led discussion emphasizing important issues in prevention within the community and organizations that serve children and youth.
- An interactive workbook facilitating discussion, reinforcing key concepts, and serving as a resource and personal action plan for resolving child sexual abuse(d2l.org).
D2L training will give you practical steps toward prevention and the framework to recognize children who may be in danger. The accompanying workbook contains valuable action steps that provide a path from abuse recognition to resolution. So far, we have trained 571 people. We would love to see that number increase as we work to make our churches safe havens for the children in our communities.
Let us know if we can assist you in planning a D2L training at your church. If you have any questions about this or other services offered by ACGC, you can email mbroadway@acgc.us or call us at 704-545-6161.
