CSA Prevention & Understanding POCSO Act (6-Hour)
An advanced workshop for teachers, parents, counsellors, and school management to move from awareness to action.
Available in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Delhi, and Mathura.
Why This 6-Hour Workshop
Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is not rare—it's underreported and deeply misunderstood. This 6-hour session is designed for adults who are ready to move from basic awareness to comprehensive action. It builds a deep understanding of CSA prevention, the POCSO Act's provisions, legal duties, and real-world response mechanisms.
While a 3-hour version introduces the issue, this extended workshop provides a complete, section-by-section walkthrough of the POCSO Act, combined with behavioral, emotional, and preventive learning. More than 80 members of BSTI's team are survivors, bringing unparalleled authenticity to this training.
Key Facts: 1 in 2 children face sexual abuse. 95% of abusers are known to the child. 53% of victims are boys.
