Telios Teaches Online Harassment Prevention Training

Introduction: Learn why protecting children is not just a legal requirement, but a spiritual mandate. You’ll understand the scope of the course and how you can contribute to a broader safety effort.

Abuse in the Home: Learn how danger is closer that you think: in the home, in schools, in churches—often hidden and long lasting. You’ll learn how this type of abuse affects children, how it overlaps with other forms of abuse, and why churches must respond with compassion an clarity.

Your Role: The three elements that make abuse possible: a potential victim, a would be offender, and a lack of a capable guardian. Your role as the “capable guardian” is to create barriers to abuse through presence, awareness, and policy enforcement.

Types of Abuse: Learn to recognize the four main types of abuse—sexual, physical, emotional, and neglect—and how even non-contact behaviors like grooming or exposure to pornography can cause lasting harm.

Preventing Abuse: Learn how practical steps like screening, supervision, and consistent enforcement of policies work together to protect kids by creating strong, visible safeguards that can stop predators from testing boundaries before they start.

Handling Allegations: Prevention is worth little without proper response. Understand the importance of reporting, avoid common pitfalls, and learn to handle disclosures with care, clarity, and compliance.

What God Can Redeem: No one is beyond God’s reach. To those struggling with dark temptation, flee evil, and seek help before harm is done. To those who have been victims, you are not alone. God can heal your pain, and there is a path to hope and restoration.
