Seventy percent of all reported sexual assaults occur to children.  Hope Haven marked this year's SAAM and CAPM by holding five community-wide child sexual abuse prevention workshops. It is never enough to expect children to protect themselves from child sexual abuse. Communities of adults must take responsibility for protecting the children among them.  Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children is a child sexual abuse prevention workshop for adults that gives participants the tools they need to recognize, react responsibly, and prevent incidences of abuse. Workshops were attended by a wide variety of community members: law enforcement officers, teachers, board members of Hope Haven, and hospice volunteers. If you would like to attend a Stewards workshop, please keep an eye out for upcoming trainings.  or call / email Jeanne Owens at 524-2256 / hope5@islc.net to register.

These ladies rose up to the challenge to ensure that every child and adult victim of sexual abuse receives proper treatment and services, even in the midst of these tough economic times.
