Keeping the Promise Alive

Keeping the Promise Alive for Adults Workshop

Keeping the Promise Alive is a mandatory refresher course that went into effect in 2012. Employees and volunteers who have taken the “Protecting God’s Children”® program between the years 2003 through 2005 are required to attend. It is a 1.5 hour session that provides ongoing awareness for the prevention of child sexual abuse. The material covered in “Keeping the Promise Alive” is designed to identify and reinforce the lessons of the original “Protecting God’s Children” program by clarifying some of the more challenging aspects of the sessions, strengthening the participants’ ability to recognize risky adults in their environments and how to take action to intervene in potentially threatening situations.
