Behind The Smile
Grooming Prevention Training is here.
Behind The Smile isn’t just another training—it’s a revelation. Through real-life scenarios and expert insight, this course pulls back the curtain on how grooming really works — how trust is built, boundaries are tested, and silence is kept. You’ll see what others miss, understand what survivors wish every adult knew, and walk away equipped to stop abuse before it ever begins.
“This training is life-changing.” - Amanda Briggs, MPA, BCC
“I love the way it is written because this is the way it happens in real life.” - Dr. Cynthia Hatch (trauma therapist)
