Promises to Keep

 PCA Georgia's Promises to Keep Training Program educates adults on public health strategies to prevent child abuse and neglect. 

A number of workshops are available to professional and community organizations that promote understanding of the underlying conditions that allow child abuse to occur, understanding and recognizing behaviors in others that leave children vulnerable to abuse, and how to make a report of known or suspected abuse. 

We offer both general trainings that cover the basics of what any mandated reporter needs to know or a narrower, more in-depth discussion of topics like child sexual abuse, child development, neglect, or bullying.
