FAITH & COMMUNITY
Boundary training, youth programs, and retreats
Our Work with Faith & Community
COS welcomes and respects all communities of faith. Our presenters have tremendous commitment to their personal faith and beliefs and share these when appropriate with our faith-based clients. We have inspired and educated communities worldwide of all faith backgrounds – from Orthodox Jewish to Southern Baptist. We partner with houses of worship to ensure their leadership, staff, and volunteers are well-trained on appropriate boundaries with children and adults in their faith communities.
We offer:
- Boundary training — employees, volunteers, childcare, youth programs, leadership and more
- Crisis response to reports and incidents involving sexual misconduct
- Policy and response protocol development for risk mitigation
- Faith-centered support for each religious community and their affiliated schools

“I was at your talk at Brigham Young University. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciated hearing from you. I wanted to come talk to you, but there was a long line to see you, so I wanted to write to you instead. Thank you for your courage to stand against all the persecutions that you have had to face. You have strengthened me by your words. Your courage is amazing, and you are an inspiration!”
