The Amarillo Area Foundation Nonprofit Service Center
Is Proud to Offer Praesidium Training

How do youth-serving organizations protect the youth that they serve from the risk of abuse?
 
A culture of safety in any organization requires an engaged commitment to a multi-prong approach, including training on policies and procedures that address boundaries, supervision and how to respond to concern.
  

Effective abuse prevention training gives employees and volunteers the information and skills they need to keep those in their care safe.

This in-person training will take place on Thursday, November 3rd, from 9 am to 12 pm at the Amarillo Area Foundation Neely Conference Center, 801 S. Fillmore, 7th floor.

 
Registration Fee: $25
