Beyond Burnout: Secondary Trauma and the Child Welfare Workforce

I am excited to announce that Anu Family Services is partnering with the Supporting Families Together Association (SFTA) to provide a FREE training to Anu foster parents on sexual abuse prevention. This training program educates adults to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The program believes that child safety is an adult's job. Stewards of Children is designed to education adults who care for children. The training is being held on Monday, April 30th from 6-9pm at the Madison Anu office at 6000 Gisholt Drive, Suite 109, Madison. Please RSVP to our Madison office staff at 608-663-1262 if you plan to attend. Non-Anu foster parents are invited to attend with prior approval by RSVP to Crystal at 920-988-4137.
