Description: Stewards of Children is a prevention training program that teaches adults how to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The program is designed for organizations that serve youth and for individuals concerned about the safety of children. It is the only nationally distributed, evidence-based program proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and change child protective behaviors. 

The Center for Alexandria’s Children has partnered with the Alexandria Health Department to provide this training for free to all child serving professionals in the City of Alexandria. This two-hour long in-person training is offered in both English and Spanish and will be facilitated by members of the City’s Multidisciplinary Team on Child Abuse (the detectives, social workers, advocates and attorneys who investigate and prosecute the crime of child sexual abuse in our City). Contact Terri Cheshire at terri@alexandriaskids.org  or 703-746-6018 to discuss and schedule a training for your team or organization.
