📹Free replay! If you missed my webinar on child abuse prevention, here’s your opportunity to watch it. 🩷With only a week to promote the event we had 241 register and 51 attend. The event was only supposed to be an hour, but due to the heavy interest in the Q&A portion, 40 people stayed on an extra 20 min. 🙏 🌈 I share this because it’s a sign of hope that so many people are willing to learn how to prevent child abuse. 🔮We plan to offer future webinars to take a closer look at the topics we introduced in this first webinar.

During this month of April, and indeed every month of the year, it is important that we continue the discourse surrounding child abuse and the well-being of children globally. Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address this pervasive issue and advocate for the protection of vulnerable children. By amplifying awareness efforts, engaging in meaningful conversations, and implementing preventive measures, we can maximise the impact of this CAP beyond just one month. Together, let us commit to creating a safer world for children, where their voices are heard, their rights are protected, and their well-being is prioritised. #childabusepreventionmonth #sexualassaultawarenessmonth #childprotection #ceceyara
