Big Brothers Big sisters of San Diego County, October 2007.
“Darkness to Light Stewards of Children was a very informative and interactive training that was completely relevant to what we hold as our #1 priority at Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County – child safety.  Svava Brooks, the facilitator and trainer, was very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching our Program Specialists and Managers the “7 Steps to Protecting Our Children.”  Our staff is always interested in learning more about how to keep the children we serve safe from all types of abuse.  Svava’s presentation, which included individual workbooks for each participant, was stimulating to our staff and brought up great discussion amongst the group in the training. 
It was highly beneficial and I would recommend it to other community based organizations who have vowed to keep children safe in the services they provide and in the community at large.”
