Child Sexual Abuse is rampant around the world, and it happens on a daily basis. Somewhere a child is being forced to perform sexual acts while you are debating on if you should educate yourself further about this topic. The lessons I have developed are designed for parents, caregivers, and anyone who has an interest in the prevention and the protection of our children.I have taken all of my knowledge and put these lessons into terms that anyone can understand, and will be available for explanations if needed.There will be no technical wording which may cause the student some discomfort: it is designed as a "work at your own pace" course, and instructor availability when needed! Of all the books available on child sexual abuse, I have not come across one that deals with the prevention of it! Most books that are offered are for after the fact. One thing that parents and caregivers could use is a learning tool that can be used to explain the realities of abuse. A tool that can lead adults into a comfortable conversation with children about this subject. There are five lessons for you in this course which offers the following: THE ABUSER, SAFETY TIPS, IMPACTS OF ABUSE, THE VICTIMS, WHERE ABUSE CAN OCCUR, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN, and CASE STUDIES. There are so many relevant topics listed in these five lessons that it is impossible to list them all! Certificates will be issued to students who receive a grade average of 70% or more! This provides an excellent opportunity to add your new expertise to your resume, and to start putting your knowledge to use to prevent child sexual abuse! Constant instructor feedback will also be given to students: and sharing of knowlege would be beneficial to all enrolled, this can be done by posting new information in the forum area! copyright 2002.

Course Requirements
This course requires no previous experience in Child Sexual Abuse. It is designed for people from all walks of life. The lessons are based on my opinions on what I have learned in my training, and in the field. I have tried to make the wording as easy to understand as possible: for I feel that people need to know the realities, but might not be able to understand the technical wording of such a complex history. My belief is that if a student wishes to learn something, then it is up to the instructor to make the learning easy to understand. I have tried to leave out terminology that would make it difficult for a majority of people to understand without a college or university diploma!
Course Goals
Students can work at their own pace in these lessons. Although I have given an estimate of how long each assignment should take. I feel the student if wants, they can have the time needed for research and completion of their course. As a student your goals would be to research and investigate as per my instructions: complete all class lessons, complete all class assignments and quizzes. The offering of any suggestions related to this area of study would greatly be appreciated. Class participation will be based on your effort to complete this course: there will be no grading for this
as I feel your assignments and quizzies will have shown me your capabilities in learning this subject.
Reading Materials
The reading materials are covered in the five lessons that you will receive on-line! There will be no other reading material that you will need to purchase. Other reading material that is not covered in your lessons: will be based on research over the internet, and requires making notes on the research you have uncovered.
Grading Policy
There is a total of 5 lessons and 2 multiple choice questionaires.
The total of all lessons and questionaires is 100%. Punctuation will not be graded. While spelling and grammar are important in any written documents: I will not be grading you on those at all, but please keep in mind that your sentences must be clear and easy to understand.
