Upcoming Workshop
Come to the Mennonite Conference Center on Thursday, June 11 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. for the workshop Child Sexual Abuse: A Universal Approach to Prevention and Offender Management led by Michael Stinson, Director of Prevention Services at the Joseph J Peters Institute (JJPI). JJPI Prevention Services’ core program is built on a public health model aimed at providing communities and service providers the capacity to recognize the social and behavioral indicators that are present in situations that lead to, or end in, child sexual abuse. This program is designed to shift the primary responsibility of preventing child sexual abuse from children to adults. Within this discussion, we will address issues involving offenders in the community, community safety standards and concerns, and integrating convicted offenders back into a social and community context.
