No matter what ministry or program in which you may serve—you are uniquely positioned to be a sanctuary of safety. Safe adults are advocates, which means that we advocate for youth, and with youth for their safety and wellbeing. As a safe adult, you have tremendous power to make a profound difference for children—not only by recognizing and responding to unsafe situations, but also by teaching children about their rights to safety and creating environments where they can speak up and get help. To be clear, it is our responsibility as adults to create safe environments for the children in our care, and there are also things we can teach to children to help them to be safer.
