The Evangelical Council for Abuse Prevention (ECAP) is committed to equipping parents, churches, and communities with the knowledge and resources necessary to protect the most vulnerable. In this session, Ryan Dobson will delve into the crucial role parents play in preventing abuse and ensuring the security and well-being of their children. The discussion will cover strategies for identifying risks, implementing safety plans, and fostering open communication within families to safeguard against potential threats.
Ryan Dobson brings a wealth of experience and a deep personal commitment to this cause, drawing from his extensive work with HomeSafe, a church based seminar, dedicated to empowering parents with practical tools for child protection. His approach is grounded in both his professional journey and the legacy of his father, Dr. James Dobson, a pioneering figure in family advocacy. This session is designed to provide parents with actionable steps to enhance the safety and security of their children in an increasingly complex world.
