Learn more about resources for all domestic violence agencies and advocates (even community based learning opportunities...) from DomesticShelters.org (free resources and trainings online to grow the wisdom and network to be better prepared to help oneself and others appropriately, as is safe and with other supports.) Somehow I found this site and feel it's a game-changer for many...especially giving a beacon of hope to many in rural areas or places they cannot find info or help easily! 

This is a description of an upcoming program they are offering for agencies and maybe others as

Such a difficult set of events to consider, that went on for months and even years. Where is one to begin to try to make any sense of what happened?
 How important for every parent to want to have many 'back up systems' to monitor their children's lives for safety and appropriate people in every part of their lives. Also best to not have youths babysit at homes without their own support system in place (ideally going with the youth or even young adult since too many times 'boundaries are broken.'
Too many young women particularly are vulnerable for an assault from someone that should be
