Healthy Touch for Children & Youth

Understanding boundaries makes us more mindful about how we interact with children.

Healthy affection and touch is protective from child sexual abuse especially with parents, caregivers, and family members. Building on the education provided in Stewards of Children®, Darkness to Light’s evidence-based training on preventing, recognizing, and reacting responsibly to child sexual abuse, this training teaches you some guidelines for healthy touch and safe, respectful ways to interact with children. It is highly recommended that participants complete Stewards of Children® prior to taking the course.
