THE BREAKING THE CODE OF GROOMING WORKBOOK
Awareness is the first step.
Conversation is what comes next.
A companion resource with guided conversations, reflection prompts, practical exercises and tools designed for individuals, families and groups. Free to download, print and share.
READING IS ONE THING. PRACTICING IS ANOTHER.
The book explains how grooming develops. The workbook is where you put that understanding to work, on your own family, your own team, your own congregation or classroom.
Work through it start to finish, or open straight to the part you need. Use it alone, with a partner, or as the spine of a small group discussion.
