Give the Gift of Bravery and Courage

Help your community Protect Kids from Sexual Abuse

34% of children in our community will experience child sexual abuse, and 90% of that abuse is perpetrated by someone that the child and their family trusts.

When you sponsor a prevention training with Priority Kids, your gift of prevention will create long-lasting, systemic change.

Our prevention training is proven effective. Your gift will help keep up to 200 kids better protected for a lifetime.

SPONSOR A TRAINING

When you sponsor our 3 HOUR prevention training, we can teach adults how to prevent, recognize and respond to child sexual abuse.

With Your Sponsorship

Up to 20 adults who are waiting to be trained will come together in our Zoom room with an Authorized Facilitator

Participants will be certified in the award-winning Stewards of Children® prevention training

Up to 20 adults will be more likely to intervene when they see signs of abuse

Up to 200 children will be better protected from sexual abuse, and more likely to receive appropriate support when abuse is discovered

Our participants know the power of this training. When we come together to learn ways that we can keep kids safe, we experience the feeling of transformation.

It feels like empowerment. It feels like hope. It feels uplifting and encouraging.

That’s why some of the most common feedback we get on our evaluation form include;

‘Everyone who works with kids should take this training’

and

‘This training should be mandatory’

and

‘I’m so glad for this training. Thank you!’

You can give a gift that is proven effective.

A gift that will transform our community.

PROTECT 200 CHILDREN

Bravery and Courage

7 years of research by Brené Brown has led to some discoveries that are no surprise to us.

Around the world, in every industry, leaders have identified that the future of leadership requires an overhaul.

We need braver leaders. We need more courage in our culture. Research has shown that these are the gaps;

We’re not leaning in to hard conversations
We are tapping out of tough discussions
We are choosing our own comfort over courage.

We’re telling you this because we know that choosing to protect children from sexual abuse isn’t easy. It takes brave leadership. It takes courage.

We’re also telling you this because you should know that brave leadership is exactly what the world wants and needs.

At Priority Kids we are on a mission to keep kids safe from sexual abuse. This is a bold and transformative action that disrupts some of the most entrenched systemic challenges.

When communities put child protective practices in place, we build new systems that keep kids safe.

When you sponsor a sexual abuse prevention training, you are modelling bravery and courage. You can help our community lean in to a hard conversation. You can help us choose courage over comfort.

The results are astonishing.

PROTECT 200 CHILDREN

We Are Committed to Keeping Kids Safe

Because we know that child sexual abuse is at the root of the most complex and difficult social problems.

We’ve been delivering Stewards of Children® across Nova Scotia for more than a decade. The results are consistent. Adults agree that this training is critical, and it works.

No matter how much we give or donate to programs and services, children will continue to suffer from the effects of childhood sexual abuse.

We Must Change the System

When you sponsor a training, more adults will be empowered to help change the system. That’s what our training is proven to accomplish. Behaviour change. Systemic change.

Systemic barriers have a powerful grip on all of us. Systemic injustice makes a global movement like Occupy fizzle into a distant memory without tangible change.

Systemic oppression can see the world rise up to say Black Lives Matter and then see us all sit back down with nothing significant to show for our effort (actually, Wikipedia says that public support for BLM has measurably decreased). The system left unchanged.

Systemic injustice allows over 368 gymnasts to experience sexual abuse by gymnastic coaches and officials, including Larry Nassar…

We are saddened and shocked.

Just like we were when it was the Scouting movement.

Just like we were when it was the Priests.

Just like we were when it was the Residential Schools.

And just like we are when we learn about it happening in our own families and community.

Our prevention training disrupts these patterns and creates the foundation for a future where equality, justice, health and joy are accessible to everyone.

It begins by keeping kids safe.
