Our meetings are held on the Fourth Thursday of every month at Legacy Christian Church, 10150 Antioch Road, Overland Park, KS 66212. Park in back of the church and enter through the double doors. The meeting room is down the stairs at the end of the hallway.
Topic: How to protect our children physical and sexual abuse.
Guest Speaker: Bev Turner Education Program Director Sunflower House, A Child Advocacy Center
National statistics tell us that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will fall victim to child sexual abuse before they reach adulthood.
Founded in 1977, Sunflower House is a non-residential child advocacy and abuse prevention center serving Johnson and Wyandotte Counties. The question, “What would I want for my child if he or she were abused?” drives every decision made at Sunflower House.
Sunflower House is an accredited member of the National Children’s Alliance. Accreditation through this national affiliate ensures adherence to best practice standards of its federally recognized multidisciplinary approach to child abuse investigations.
This presentation for parents will be on safety tips, child protection, and effective methods to talk with children about personal safety.
CHILD CARE:
We have limited space available for children 2 and older at the Overland Park location for those who could not attend if it were not for the child care. If you have other child care options available to your family, please use those resources so that a family without help is able to attend our meetings.
If you need Child Care it is required that you RSVP by Tuesday prior to the meeting to reserve a spot for your child(ren). If you do not receive an email confirmation, please do not bring your child.
