Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Symposium
The Office of School Safety (OSS) is hosting the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Symposium. To encourage primary prevention of sexual abuse, we are hosting national speakers to talk about the root causes of child sexual abuse and how to respond. Prevention programming will also be tabling so schools and non-profits can talk directly to those representatives for implementation in their local community.
