We realize that not all of our Reliant Missionaries employees and Associates associates work directly with children under the age of 18 in their church or ministry. However, many do work with college-aged students, young adults, or other members of a vulnerable population who may be susceptible to grooming and abuse. The principles shared in the training can also apply to those groups. And even if you don't feel like what you learn about in the MinistrySafe course is relevant to your day-to-day work, we hope the training increases your awareness of the issue and teaches you how to help recognize and prevent sexual abuse in any context that you may be. | ||

When you reach part 4/4 Titled: Sexual Harassment Prevention: Apply What You've Learned, there will be four Story Quizzes. This is a chance for you to use what you learned in a real-life scenario. The quizzes are written in a "choose your own adventure" style in which different choices will lead you to different conclusions. You'll even have a chance to "try again" if you don't like the conclusion that you ended on. But don't worry; you are not graded on the Story Quizzes, and you will earn your certificate regardless of how you answered the questions. To complete each quiz, follow the steps below. |
