Awareness workshops in educational institutions
Raising awareness is the initial step in preventing child sexual abuse, and HEAL fulfills this objective by organizing awareness workshops under its 'Helping to Heal' program across educational institutions. Specifically targeting middle and low-income schools in Maharashtra, this program aims to broaden access to CSA awareness workshops. Through 'Helping to Heal,' HEAL endeavors to extend its reach to diverse communities and educational establishments throughout Maharashtra.
The program is designed to establish a secure environment for children, equip them with self-protection skills, and educate adults on fostering a safe atmosphere for children's well-being. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, HEAL conducts online training sessions for children, adults, parents, teachers, and non-teaching staff.

Training of Trainers
We meticulously train a select group of professionals to become certified trainers in conducting CSA awareness workshops. Under close supervision by HEAL, these trainers deliver workshops for various adult groups. Upon demonstrating exceptional facilitation skills, trainers receive certification and are empowered to independently conduct awareness sessions. Since 2016, HEAL has annually conducted training programs for trainers, contributing to the growth of numerous CSA advocates.
HEAL offers training sessions for individuals as well as organizations seeking to equip their employees with CSA awareness skills.
