In this transformational training, you will come away with an understanding of how to notice the signs of abuse, facts & history about child sexual abuse, ways to define & recognize trauma survival skills in others & in yourself, and how to respond to someone who discloses abuse. This is free community education to help educate people about the devastating affects of child abuse and how to further educate your friends and family.

This training also serves as the Volunteer Training for people wishing to volunteer at VOCA Camps and Youth Mentor Groups in Clatsop County.
