Darkness to Light Training presented to UMKC

On January 27, 2020 Child and Family Advocate, Ashlay Berry, presented the Steward's of Children: Darkness to Light training at the University of Missouri-Kansas (UMKC) in Kansas City, MO. She presented to graduate and doctoral level pediatric nurse practitioners. This training is great for any type of medical field that sees children in their offices because it helps medical professionals to spot child sexual abuse during exams and what to do when a child discloses to them.

Research to Practice: MDT Approach to Recantation & Identifying Corroborative Evidence from the Forensic Interview Training for MDT

Jerri Sites with the Southern Regional Children’s Advocacy Center presented to local Multi-disciplinary Team Members some great information on why a child may recant a statement of abuse and what a team can do in response to this that can still move towards protecting the child. This training included corroborating even the minute details of the child’s statement that helps support what the child reports.

This training was hosted by the Children’s Advocacy Center and presented by Erin Lueker, the Child Abuse Resource Prosecutor with the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services.


Stewards of Children Presented to Law Enforcement

Stewards of Children (Darkness to Light) training was presented to members of the Hamilton Police Department and the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office on April 3. It was presented to the Milan Police Department and the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office on April 4. We commend these law enforcement officers for taking the time to learn more about protecting kids from child sexual abuse. These are extremely hard cases to investigate. Stewards of Children uses real people and real stories to show adults how to protect children, built off of a 5 Step foundation. It’s not as hard as you think and everyone can do something. If you would like this training brought to your group or community, let us know.

1) Learn the Facts
