STAND’s president and CEO, Dr. Stacey Benson, regularly speaks around the community, providing information to parents, professionals and concerned others on sexual offenses and sexual offenders.

 

This has included (but is not limited to) training professionals in 7 states on how to perform risk assessments on those who have committed a sexual offense (North Dakota, Minnesota, Florida, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York) as well as speaking locally to  churches,  victim advocates,  foster parents, and conference on how to identify perpetrator behavior, and intervene to protect children.  Specifically- how sex offenders use grooming to gain access to children, trick parents, and discourage reporting.   She also was a keynote speaker  at ATSA’s Conference in Orlando in 2025.

 

 

STAND considers it consistent with our Mission and Purpose to educate the public on ways to protect our state’s citizens from sexual harm.   If you are interested in having Dr. Benson or another member of STAND present to your organization please contact us at 701-630-6100.
