What is Praesidium®?
Praesidium is the leading innovator of scientifically based solutions designed to transform the way organizations approach the prevention of sexual abuse. Praesidium’s expertise, consulting, and solutions help to foster safer environments for children, vulnerable adults, staff, volunteers, and all parties involved. For over 30 years, Praesidium has trained more than one million people online and hundreds of thousands in person. As the largest and most comprehensive sexual abuse risk management firm globally, Praesidium knows how sexual abuse happens and, more importantly, how to prevent it.
Praesidium Guardians
As part of the accreditation process, eight individuals throughout our organization have been certified as Praesidium as “Guardians.” Our Guardians have led transformational projects across the YMCA of East Tennessee to review policies and practices, minimize risks, and improve safety. This team will help guide us in our quest to become a model of abuse prevention in our industry.
