Local families are taking a stance against child abuse with a special training session hosted by the Brooklyn Park Police Department. The department is offering a free one-hour training on Child Abuse Prevention tomorrow from 6 to 7 p.m. at Brooklyn Park CAC located at 5600 85th Ave N, as announced on their Facebook page.
Intended to arm parents and guardians with the know-how to combat threats against minors, the session promises to enlighten attendees on a variety of critical safety topics. According to the online announcement, the session will cover how to "Identify and respond to concerns & potential threats, talk with their children about body safety," among other necessary preventive measures. Saving a spot in tomorrow's training is necessary which can be done by following a link or scanning the provided QR code for registration.
Children's safety experts from CornerHouse, a recognized agency specializing in child abuse evaluation and training, will lead the training. They are set to deliver insights that will grant parents the confidence and tools required to protect the young ones in their stewardship. Participants will be equipped with tactics to "implement and reinforce safety strategies, create healthy boundaries and address online safety" which are increasingly vital in an age of digital proliferation.
Community Liaison Nicole Wicklund, who can be reached at [email protected], is the point of contact for any pressing questions. As families in Brooklyn Park prepare to fortify their homesteads against child abuse, the community at large is being rallied by this initiative, setting an example for neighboring cities to follow suit in this crusade to keep children out of harm's way.
