This course will equip both counselors and church leaders to help Christian organizations prepare and implement procedures to prevent child and adult abuse and to take appropriate action when faced with allegations.
Child sexual abuse is one of the fastest growing forms of child abuse. Sadly, the Christian community is far from immune. Child abuse is both spiritually and financially devastating to the Christian community. Those who survive child abuse face a lifetime of spiritual, emotional, and physical challenges. So too do adult victims of clergy sexual abuse. When the Christian community does not respond well to abuse victims, the damage only increases. This course will equip both counselors and church leaders to help Christian organizations prepare and implement procedures to prevent child and adult abuse and to take appropriate action when faced with allegations.
COURSE GOALS: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
-Understand the theological and legal reasons to be proactive to abuse allegations
-Identify common offender strategies
-Learn counseling and ministry responses to child and adult abuse victims and offenders
-Develop strategies for abuse prevention and response policies for your organization to minimize risk
