The D2L Program is a training program where we are trying to train 5% of the adult population in Jackson County to be able to spot and prevent child sexual abuse in children.  This is a two hour training and is $15/person for supplies. Please let me know if you wish to have this training done at your facility or business and we will arrange a time.
