Just in time for summer, a free, educational panel presented by child safety professionals offered to parents, grandparents and anyone who works with children in Spanish and in English.

 On Thursday June 6th, You Have the Power and Conexión Américas will present a free Child Safety Training session for families and caregivers at 6:30 pm at Casa Azafrán, 2195 Nolensville Pike, and Nashville, TN 37211.

The event is free and open to the public and childcare will be provided. The training is DHS certified for 1.5 hours and certificates will be given to participants.

The program is designed to educate parents, grandparents and others who work with children about how to keep families and children safe from predators. In addition, the forum provides key information about how to identify suspected abuse, properly report suspected abuse, helpful parenting tips and information about key community resources that are available should abuse occur.

The 90 minute program includes Sandra Gonzalez, M.S.S.W., L.C.S.W, Social Worker with Our Kids, You Have the Power Executive Director Cathy Gurley and excerpts from an acclaimed documentary DVD.

This year, non-profit agency You Have the Power is celebrating 20 years of service to the community. As part of its mission to educate, advocate and empower people and communities impacted by violent crime, the organization has expanded its outreach efforts to provide child safety training to groups who may have limited access to such education.
