Annual Youth Conference
The Youth & Family Services Team of Saratoga County Mental Health Center in partnership with The Saratoga County Citizens Committee for Mental Health
Proudly Present
“Sex Offenders Responding to Crimes Against Children”
Thursday October 20, 2016 from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
A full day training with nationally renowned speaker: Cory Jewell Jensen
Research indicates that one in four girls and one in seven boys will be sexually abused. The offenders will be someone close, a relative, family friend, or one of the many volunteers or professionals who come in contact with our children every day, someone most parents would never suspect. By taking the time to learn more about child sexual abuse and the people who commit these crimes, you will be joining a growing number of individuals who are becoming better educated about protecting children and safeguarding our communities. Remember: the responsibility for protecting children rests primarily with adults, not children alone. This presentation will briefly examine some of the factors that make children, churches, youth serving organizations, and schools vulnerable to sex offenders. The need for ongoing education about offender behavior and enhancement of practical prevention rules will be covered.
