Resources for You to Use
Please keep an eye on this page -- we will soon be adding interesting and useful materials for people to use in training programs for children, as well as continuing education materials for adults.
The FBI's Parent's Guide to Internet Safety
The FBI has published an excellent guide for parents to protect their children online. You can download it (in pdf format) here. We have also developed a flyer for parents and children on internet safety, which you can download (in pdf format) here.
National Child Abuse Awareness Month
April 2008 has been designated as "National Child Abuse Awareness Month". The Office of Child and Youth Protection of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has prepared resources for use by parishes for this event -- bulletin inserts, articles, posters, prayer cards, and liturgy ideas. They can be downloaded here.
