This is the #1 reason we strive to be age appropriate and always opt for being conservative in all areas.

It’s fine to educate ourselves so we know better and can do better 🙌🏻

It will cover:

Our YPAD advisory panel will cover:

- What is trauma-informed care and how is it relevant to sex-abuse?

- What is sex-abuse? How and why does it happen?

- What is grooming and how does it occur?

- How can I help?

- The proper steps to reporting sex-abuse.

- What trauma recovery and resources are available?

- The connection between sexualization and objectification to sex-abuse.

YPAD invites all parents, studio owners, teachers, dancers, industry professionals, competition and convention leaders and those that support the industry and care about the global dance community to join us for an educational webinar that prioritizes accountability and understanding of sex-abuse in dance. YPAD professionals will host a 2.5 hour educational webinar highlighting prevention, intervention, reporting, and resources for healing.

**YPAD is dedicated to maintaining a safe and trauma-informed space for all participants and survivors. All comments that covertly or overtly shame and demean survivors or any members of our panel will be deleted and blocked from participating in this training.**
