Are you an educator, a counselor, a therapist, a parent, or staff with a youth-serving organization?

Do you want the young people in your life to have the knowledge and skills they need to take charge of their psychological and physical safety with people?

Do you want to know how to protect kids from bullying, abuse, kidnapping, and other violence?

Do you have too many really important things to do already?!

If so, our new online Training of Practitioners Program (TOP) might be right for YOU!

This program provides one monthly 2-hour live, online skills practice training session and access to videos, workbooks and more.
