Cornish — Representatives from CAPSA presented an overview of survivor support services, a training curriculum for adults who work with youth and plans to expand services into Preston and Franklin County, Idaho.
The CAPSA speaker outlined a 'shame-free conversations' curriculum and announced a 'Be a Safe Adult' training on Aug. 13 at CAPSA open to parents, teachers, church leaders and other adults who interact with young people. The presenter described CAPSA’s prevention-education work in schools, its 24/7 hotline and coordination with hospitals and police under a lethality assessment protocol (LAP) used to refer high-risk survivors.
Councilmembers asked about target audiences and promotion; CAPSA requested help publicizing the training via the town newsletter and social media.
