  • Training
    Does the training you provide employees and volunteers work to change behavior, or does it just provide a “check in the box” every two or three years? Does it engage the learners? Are you certain it covers the correct content? Do you reliably track and ensure completion? Praesidium provides a complete training delivery system for organizations, including customized online courses, onsite workshops, DVD programs, mini-minders and just-in-time videos. Learn More
  • Risk Assessment and Accreditation®
    Now your organization can publicly demonstrate that it meets the highest standards of abuse prevention in the nation. Using Praesidium’s proprietary risk management system, our team of Safety Analysts comes on site to evaluate your practices in eight key organizational operations. You receive a detailed report outlining strengths and potential exposures in each program and a prioritized action plan to close any gaps. Once you’ve closed the gaps, you earn Praesidium Accreditation®, proof to your stakeholders, the community, and your insurance underwriters of your demonstrated commitment to safety. Learn More
  • Online Self-Assessment
    Know Your Score!™, Praesidium’s Online Self-Assessment, is the first tool of its kind to help you accurately and confidentially identify potential gaps in the abuse risk management practices of each of your programs and across your entire organization. Your report gives you a step-by-step blueprint for closing the gaps and even links you directly to useful resources. And you can compare your results with those from similar programs nationwide!
