South Dakota on Tuesday became just the eighth state to join the national Enough Abuse Campaign, a grassroots movement providing adults and communities with the knowledge and skills to prevent child sexual abuse in their communities.
The Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment, Children’s Home Society and the South Dakota Department of Social Services made the announcement Tuesday as part of Children’s Day at the Capitol in Pierre.
The Enough Abuse Campaign offers educational information to parents, youth, professionals and other concerned adults to prevent people from sexually abusing children today and to prevent children from developing abusive behaviors in the future. The South Dakota organizations are accepting applications for trainers, who will go through the Enough Abuse curricula so they can educate people on the topic in their communities. Trainers will be partially supported through stipends funded by the Rape Prevention Education program of the South Dakota Department of Health.
