The Child-Friendly Faith Project is excited about the new year!
Looking back, we accomplished a lot in 2014. We completed development of our Charter Member designation program, a curriculum designed exclusively for faith communities. We held our first raffle giveaway. And our conference presented more than twice as many speakers as last year. But there’s a lot more to come!
We have a lot in store for 2015. Including…
The selection of pilot sites to help us finalize development of our Charter Member designation program. This unique curriculum is designed specifically for faith communities that want to learn about preventing child abuse and neglect both from within and outside of their places of worship. What’s more, participating organizations are designated as Charter Members of the CFFP, which allows them to be promoted to the wider community as role models in child protection.
The development of a webinar series geared to professionals. Many people who work in fields relating to child welfare have asked us for help in understanding the risk factors and intervention strategies about religious and cultural child maltreatment. To best satisfy this need, we will be developing a webinar series featuring presenters who are renowned experts in fields such as social work, the law, pediatrics, and mental health.
