Research tells us that resilience is enhanced in children and youth who participate in extracurricular activities, sporting organizations and religious activities. However, multiple recent cases identifying child maltreatment in youth-serving organizations may give pause to caregivers who seek to protect their children from institutional maltreatment. This workshop will discuss various types of youth-serving organizations and institutions that fail to adequately respond to child maltreatment that occurs within its purview; how abuse is enabled in youth sport and youth support settings; and how institutional changes can mitigate these issues. Issues of perpetrator protection and institutional loyalty will be discussed, and suggestions will be offered as lessons learned from recent high-profile cases.
