Education is the best prevention
Parent workshop
Learning is a small investment for your child’s safety
No community is immune to child abuse. Pretending it doesn’t exist doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
You want your child to be adequately informed. But you don’t feel comfortable or knowledgeable enough to teach them yourself. Nor do you want to be stuck fielding questions – and not knowing what to say. That said, it’s not worth risking your child’s safety just because it’s sticky to talk about it.
MagenU’s staff workshop educates the school faculty about mandated reporting, how to handle disclosures, and even how to safely interact with their students, so they can feel safe and confident in their beautiful careers educating Hashem’s children.
By investing in our one-off training, you’re acting as role models in the virtues of kindness, responsibility, and commitment and sending your students a clear affirmation that you are there for them.

“Our staff, student and parent bodies walked away feeling empowered and armed with practical information. As the hanhala, we are so grateful there exists a program that teaches adults and children alike about the unfortunate reality of dangers present in our world. From the enthusiastic response, we know your presentation was well-received. Your light manner of discussing a weighty topic helped to allay the fears in our hearts and empower all to be proactive instead of fearful.”

What the parents say

“What a tremendous responsibility- that I feel like gets ZERO attention! I’d never think I needed to learn about it because I’d never think it would happen to my kid- as naive as that sounds.... Tonight was insightful, concrete, effective, constructive, and extremely, extremely necessary!”

I wanted to thank you for yesterday’s Magenu training. I feel extremely blessed that we had this opportunity to educate ourselves and learn so much about this challenging topic. I feel very grateful to you for making this a priority in our yeshiva. The information given was so valuable, helpful and eye-opening. Thank you!!!
