TRAINING OVERVIEW

 

Support Over Silence for KIDS was developed by a team of experts in public health, parenting, injury prevention, pediatrics, child abuse, psychology, marketing, program design and evaluation. This three-hour training prepares community members to confidently provide support during a challenging moment between a caregiver and their child in public. Six interactive modules teach participants the importance of this support and allows them to practice the skills needed to engage with caregivers and kids in a non-judgmental way.

The K.I.D.S. Framework

An understanding of the barriers you have, personally, about engaging with a caregiver & child and ways to reduce those barriers to offering support
