Parents and guardians are used to being prepared for anything. From a scraped knee to a hungry belly, you often have band-aids, water, and snacks at the ready. But some things in life are a little more challenging to prepare for—like abuse and misconduct in sport. 

When we’re caught off guard, it can feel like we’re left scrambling, trying to figure out what to do and how to respond. Being prepared to address challenging situations like bullying is made easier with the right tools, guidance, and resources from experts in the abuse prevention field.
