With education and training, most abuse can be prevented or interrupted. Darkness to Light offers training that specializes in the prevention of child sexual abuse, other forms of abuse, and mandated reporting.

As its name suggests, it goes beyond the concepts presented in Stewards of Children®, digging deeper into practical applications of the 5 Steps to Protecting Children™.
