TRIGGER WARNING:
Thank you for your commitment to taking Darkness to Light’s online child sexual abuse prevention trainings.
Attached you will find instructions on how to access Olympic Peninsula YMCA’s unique login page, create a user account, and how to take the online certification.
The training contains a mix of survivor stories, expert advice, and practical guidance for prevention of child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse is a tough topic. Some of the survivor stories may affect you in a personal way. These stories reflect the personal experiences of actual survivors. These are the experiences children face when they are sexually abused, thus Darkness to Light chose to include them.
There is a National Resource Sheet available in the resource section of the course with names and numbers of agencies that can help. Someone is available for you to talk to about any needs you have through the Darkness to Light helpline at 1.800.656.HOPE (4673).
Thank you for your commitment to child sexual abuse prevention.
