Safer, Smarter Communities

While 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys will become a victim of sexual abuse before their 18^th birthday, 95% of this abuse is preventable through education and awareness…and healing happens with guidance and support. That’s why Lauren’s Kids has created resources for use throughout communities to help protect childhood and support survivors. Access materials below for youth serving organizations, families fostering children who have been sexually abused, first responders, and the community at large.

Youth Serving Organization Handbook

Child predators seek out opportunities to have access to children, so it is important for youth-serving organizations to implement safeguards to prevent child predators from gaining access, and to respond to reported incidents, allegations and evidence of such abuse immediately. The Lauren’s Kids Youth-Serving Organization Handbook helps guide organizations that serve youth in best practices for keeping kids safe, including suggested policies to protect children from becoming victims of child sexual abuse, how to report suspected abuse, and information on how to recognize unsafe adults.
