Support Over Silence Bystander Training for Businesses
2024-08-05 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Kentucky/Louisville) | Kosair For Kids, 982 Eastern Pkwy, Louisville, KY, 40217, United States
Have you ever seen a caregiver or a child struggling in public and didn’t know what to do? Support Over Silence is an evidence-based program that gives bystanders a new way of supporting families without judgment or shame.
Most people want to help, but at times just don’t know how. Sometimes we don’t feel like it’s our business, or we’re not sure if the situation is “bad enough” to say something. We all have a role to play in keeping children safe. Even a few words of support to a caregiver or child can mean a lot.
Join Support Over Silence for Kids and the Kosair For Kids Face It Movement for a bystander training that will prepare you and your staff to confidently provide support during a challenging moment between a caregiver and their child in public. This training teaches the importance of this support and allows you to practice the skills needed to engage with caregivers and kids in a non-judgmental way. Register.
