Community Education

Children’s Cove’s commitment to the safety of children extends beyond the services at our center.

As a Barnstable County organization, part of our mission is to provide free awareness and prevention education to members of the Cape & Islands community. We recognize that they best way to respond to child sexual abuse, is in the prevention of it. By educating the community, we hope to reduce the public health crisis of child sexual abuse.

As a central resource for information and assistance, we offer a variety of educational opportunities for to community organizations, faith organizations, clubs, community centers, and concerned citizens in areas such as:
