Sexual Abuse Prevention
Children's Advocacy Center* - Grades K-6
Sexual Abuse Prevention "Kids Rights Program"
The Children’s Advocacy Center provides sexual abuse prevention programs in Franklin County. The sexual abuse prevention program will be offered to the local schools. In addition, in order to ensure that first responders such as police, Children’s Division workers, schools, daycares, etc. are ready to deal with a child’s disclosure of abuse, the CAC will train these adults on issues such as sexual abuse dynamics, how children disclose abuse, what do when a child discloses, etc. This will ensure that when mandated reporters receive information or have concerns about child abuse, they are trained and prepared to handle the disclosure with the least amount of trauma to the child.
