About This Event
Carousel Child Advocacy Center is hosting its inaugural Everyday Heroes Awards and Luncheon at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 9th, in the Odell Williamson Auditorium at Brunswick Community College.
The Brunswick Sheriff’s Office will be recognized for being the first police force in the nation to become a Partner In Prevention, a designation awarded to organizations and businesses that take the necessary steps to protect children from child sexual abuse in their communities. The designation is being granted by Carousel and the organization Darkness to Light, which works to empower adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse through awareness, education, and stigma reduction. Their Stewards of Children® training teaches adults to recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. To become a Partner in Prevention, a business or organization must train 90-100% of its staff and volunteers in Stewards of Children® and commit to providing ongoing child sexual abuse prevention training.
Join us at this inaugural event to learn more about the services and programs the Carousel Child Advocacy Center provides to help Brunswick child victims receive forensic and healing services when there is a report of physical or sexual abuse.
It is free to attend, and we welcome groups to host a table.
