Training & Tours
TEDI BEAR welcomes you to learn more about Children’s Advocacy Centers, and about how to prevent and address child abuse. Please consider visiting our clinic, or participating in one of our Stewards of Children training sessions on the prevention of child sexual abuse.
Also, please consider taking one or more interactive online courses offered by other organizations on child abuse and neglect, and about the crime of child trafficking. Most of these courses are free of charge, and many can be used by professionals and foster parents for continuing education credit.
Visit Our Clinic
TEDI BEAR invites you to tour our clinic located at 1015 WH Smith Boulevard, Greenville, NC.
The clinic tour is designed for our law enforcement, social service, and healthcare colleagues, and for community members, students, and people who are interested in supporting our work through volunteering or donations.
In order to protect the privacy of our patients and families, tours require pre-registration, and each tour is limited to no more than ten visitors. Tours are typically conducted on Wednesdays.
Visitors will learn about how TEDI BEAR Children’s Advocacy Center operates, and the collaborative services for children affected by abuse and neglect.

This training is free, open to any person 18 years or older, and is appropriate for parents, teachers, volunteers, and other adults who care for or work with children, such as medical professionals, therapists, childcare workers, law enforcement staff, and others.
