Protecting God's Children

The Protecting God's Children™ Program for adults is mandatory training for all paid employees of the Diocese of Reno and all volunteers, 18 years of age and older who have any contact with children. This program trains adults on how to protect all children. The training makes participants aware of the signs of child sexual abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse and five easy steps one can take to prevent child sexual abuse.

Two videos are the centerpiece of the training. Training includes onsite instruction from a certified trainer, 24 online training bulletins and an annual re-certification training course via the VIRTUS Online™ system. The training classes are offered in both Spanish and English. For more information on Protecting God's Children, click here.
