Recognizing the Risk: Understanding the Grooming Process

As members of Ministry Safe, we are invited to join in on this helpful webinar that is being offered.

Speaker: Gregory Love, CEO & Co-founder of Ministry Safe

Most child-serving ministries know child sexual abuse is a real threat, but the greatest challenge is recognizing the risk before harm occurs. Unfortunately, you can’t spot an abuser by appearance, only by behavior. Understanding the abuser’s grooming process and common grooming behaviors is one of the most important steps ministry leaders can take to protect children and those who serve them.

In this session, the founders of MinistrySafe explain how offenders manipulate children and the adults around them to gain trust, access, privacy and control. You’ll see how grooming behaviors manifest in real ministry settings and why recognizing these behaviors early gives your team confidence to establish meaningful barriers and respond appropriately to boundary violations.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

  • Abuser characteristics and common grooming behaviors

  • How grooming behaviors typically manifest in ministry programs

  • How to identify and address problematic behaviors early on

Join us to reinforce your ability to recognize risk before sexual abuse occurs, and take the next steps toward a safer ministry.
