In cooperation with the USCCB Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, the Diocese of Worcester created safe environment programs for all individuals in the diocese to help promote awareness of sexual abuse, help to prevent abuse, and to encourage survivors of abuse to seek the healing they deserve.
