This Wednesday evening, we invite parents and community members to join us for a special presentation with Michelle Denault, a survivor, educator, student advocate, and nationally recognized speaker. Michelle will help adults better understand what grooming actually looks like, warning signs we may miss, common misconceptions, and practical ways we can help protect young people.
This free event is open to everyone—parents, grandparents, educators, coaches, clergy, youth leaders, and anyone who cares about the safety of children.
Please see the information below and consider joining us. We also encourage you to share this invitation with friends, family, and those in neighboring communities.
The more adults who know what to look for, the stronger the safety net around our kids becomes.
