The daily news illustrates the high potential for occurrences of abuse or allegations of abuse in children’s and youth ministry. This important resource enables clergy and church leaders to assess risk and implement processes to help congregations reduce the likelihood of abuse in their congregational settings. The DVD features three segments covering the tragic reality of abuse, evaluating the risk for abuse and establishing abuse-prevention policies and procedures, and a plan for reporting and responding to abuse.
