WHAT IS STEWARDS OF CHILDREN?
Stewards of Children is an evidence-informed, award-winning two-hour training that teaches adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Through interviews with child sexual abuse survivors, experts, and treatment providers, Stewards of Children® teaches adults practical actions they can take to reduce instances of child sexual abuse in their organizations, families, and communities.

English SOC online workshop on January 14th from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Spanish SOC online workshop on January 14th from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Truly, anyone can play a part in prevention of child abuse, and that includes you!

Here are some easy ways you can take steps to prevent child abuse today:

Pay attention to how our children’s play or meeting spaces are laid out, and make sure there are no out-of-view spaces where an abuser might take a child.

If you, your kids, or grandkids are involved in any after-school, sports, or church organizations, check to see if they have policies in place to protect against the possibility of abuse. If they do, ask how they enforce these policies. If they don't, directly suggest that they put some in place.

After you leave a kid with a childcare provider, make surprise visits once a child is in their care. Unfortunately, perpetrators are usually someone a child knows and can be found in youth sports leagues, after school programs, churches, recreation centers, schools, and… well you get the picture. It's up to us to be vigilant and proactive in reducing and recognizing risks.

Register for a free Stewards of Children® class to learn more about how to protect kids. You'll be taught the signs and symptoms to watch for in children and teens who might be victims of abuse, plus trauma-informed responses to suspicions, ways to intervene as a bystander or mandatory reporter, and more strategies to minimize risks at home, in organizations, and in the community at large.All classes are virtual and FREE!

If you are interested in participating in the Stewards of Children - Prevention of child sexual abuse –Darkness to Light online workshop, please send your email address and the date/time that you would like to attend to [email protected]


Thanks for helping END Child Sexual Abuse!

Be wary of COVID-19 scams

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General reports that fraud schemes related to COVID-19 continue to spread. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “Fraudsters are offering COVID-19 tests, HHS grants, and Medicare prescription cards in exchange for personal details, including Medicare information.” The Department reports that scammers are often posing as COVID-19 contact tracers and executing their schemes via telemarketing calls, text messages, social media platforms and even door-to-door visits.

While the Oregon COVID-19 Contact Collaborative continues its efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 through contact tracing, here are some reminders about how to spot a fraud. Contact tracers will never ask you for your social security number, immigration status, credit card number, bank account or billing information.

Also, as vaccine distribution begins, know that you will not be asked for money to enhance your ranking for vaccine eligibility, nor will you be asked for personal information to secure a vaccination.

If you suspect you have been subject to COVID-19 health care fraud, report it immediately online or call 1-800-447-8477. For more information, visit OIG.HHS.GOV.
