ChicagoCAC offers free and low-cost education sessions for professionals, community members and front-line providers on preventing, recognizing, responding to and reporting sexual abuse. We provide these trainings virtually or in-person upon request to professional groups, caretakers, schools, and other organizations throughout the Chicagoland area and beyond, and have worked with many well-known child-serving organizations to date. We also occasionally offer webinars around topics related to sexual abuse treatment and prevention presented by our expert, highly qualified staff.
In most cases, continuing education units (CE hours) are available for licensed social workers, counselors and psychologists for a small fee upon training completion.
Trainings and education sessions provided by ChicagoCAC’s Education, Outreach and Prevention Department are made possible by a generous grant from the city of Chicago’s Department of Family and Support Services.
