Free Virtual Training Wednesday, July 8 and Resources from an AJE partner, Safe Shores: The DC Children’s Advocacy Center
As the school year comes to an end and summer begins, children often spend more time swimming, attending camps, participating in sleepovers, using technology, and spending time with caregivers. To help navigate these summer activities, we’ve gathered a few resources that offer practical tips for keeping children safe, supported, and engaged.
Join us for a virtual training: From Bystander to Upstander, this Wednesday, 7/8 at Noon EST!
An “upstander” is someone who chooses to act when they see warning signs, boundary violations, or moments where a child may be vulnerable. Go beyond theoretical knowledge and learn practical skills for protecting children.
