THE ALARMING RISE in
reported incidents of child sexual
abuse-assaults causes a reaction of
panic among parents. While con-
cerned about their children’s safety,
most parents feel uneasy about dis-
cussing this sensitive issue with
their youngsters.
Recognizing the need for parents
to learn more about this topic,
Nesbitt Memorial Hospital is spon-
soring a community seminar enti-
tled Sexual Molestation: What's a
Parent to Do? Scheduled for Tues-
day, Nov. 27 from 7 to 9 p.m., the
seminar will be held in the Nesbitt
Medical Arts Building Classroom,
534 Wyoming Ave., Kingston. Fea-
tured speaker will be Kathie Flana-
gan Herstek of the Victims
Resource Center, Wilkes-Barre.
The two-hour workshop will focus
on providing specific information on
how to teach sexual abuse preven-
tion strategies to one’s children. In
the wake of concern about day care
facilities and other organized activi-
ties for children, an overview of
how to evaluate such programs will
be presented.
The program is free of charge.
The public is encouraged to attend.
For more information, call Nesbitt
Memorial Hospital’s Education
Department at 288-1411, extension
