If the answer may be yes, the concern should be reported.
Participants engaged in meaningful discussions on local barriers to reporting and explored ways to strengthen a culture where reporting is understood not as blame or punishment, but as an expression of care, accountability, and commitment to our Good Shepherd mission.
Together, we affirmed that reporting is one of the most important ways we protect children, vulnerable persons, survivors, our communities, and the integrity of our mission.
