Protecting God's Children - Safe Environment Program
The Diocese of El Paso has developed a Safe Environment training program for diocesan personnel who work with minors, parents, children and youth.  The diocesan program for adults contains information describing appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, what abuse is, how to identify behaviors which may be used by those seeking to abuse, and possible signs of abuse.  There is emphasis on the legal requirement to report suspected abuse to the appropriate authorities.  ​The program for youth and children is designed to help them understand what appropriate behavior and inappropriate behavior are.  It also provides information on how to recognize common methods of luring minors into dangerous situations.  There will be an emphasis on telling an appropriate adult if abuse or inappropriate behavior should occur.  ​www.virtusonline.org
