Protecting Children Through Active Bystanding .... I support this organization - run by pros!

 


Active bystanding is key to protecting children from sexual abuse.

What is Active Bystanding? A “bystander” is a person who witnesses a boundary violation or sees a situation in which to protect children. An Active Bystander is someone who does something about it. Bystanders can play a major role in keeping kids safe by acting when they see a child who needs help. Intervening or taking preventative measures as a bystander can mean the difference between a child being sexually abused or being protected from abuse.

Go beyond theoretical knowledge and learn practical skills for protecting children. In this training you will learn how to be an active bystander in child sexual abuse prevention and response. You will receive examples of boundary violations and inappropriate behaviors, and how you can make spontaneous and planned interventions that reinforce boundaries and protect children. This training builds on the education provided in Stewards of Children®, Darkness to Light’s evidence-based training on preventing, recognizing, and reacting responsibly to child sexual abuse. It is highly recommended that participants complete Stewards of Children® prior to taking the course.

Available both online or as an in-person session delivered by an authorized Darkness to Light Facilitator.

WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES?

Jews Do Not Heal In Churches...Never...


Colleyville synagogue will host ‘healing service’ Monday night at Southlake church

 

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker of Congregation Beth Israel will lead the service, which is open to the public, at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church.

Congregation Beth Israel, which was the site of a hostage situation over the weekend, will host a special service Monday night at a Southlake church, the synagogue announced on Facebook.

The “Healing Service” is scheduled for 7 p.m. at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Southlake. It will be open to the public and livestreamed on the congregation’s Facebook page.

Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker will lead the service, the congregation said, “to help all of us to begin to put this terrible event behind us and be thankful for a good result.”

The rabbi and three others were held hostage for 11 hours during a Shabbat service Saturday at the Colleyville synagogue.

The congregation said social distancing and masks will be encouraged, and that there will be no filming at the service.

We believe that the Church (the capitalized C in Church represents the global and universal Church in contrast with the local congregation) is the body of YUSHKA, that it is an extension of YUSHKA'S life and ministry in the world today, and that its purpose and mission is to make disciples of YUSHKA PUNDRIK. We believe that the Church is ‘the communion of saints,’ a community made up of all past, present, and future followers of YUSHKA, and that the Church is called to worship God and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith.
