Promoting a Safe Environment

We take our responsibility to protect our children and vulnerable adults seriously, but we need YOUR help.  We need everyone to be actively engaged in promoting safety.  If you see something that doesn’t seem right, say something!  Attend an online training class Safe Haven (replaces Virtus training).
                        Safe Haven Training at www.galvestonhouston.CMGConnect.org     
· Uses your current Virtus account ID for sign-in
· Good for 5 years
· All online—no classes to attend!
If you have completed VIRTUS training in the past 5 years, do not create a new account.  You will log-in with your old user id from VIRTUS and enter the password 1234.  If you are unable to log-in, please contact Daphne Woods at 800-228-6108 ext. 2375 or email:  cmgconnect@catholicmutual.org   NEW USERS:  If you have never  attended VIRTUS training or never taken Safe Haven online training before, please register to create a new account. 
 If while taking the training you encounter a problem with any part of the program, please contact Jennifer Carlisle or Patsy Pekar and we can try to help you or we can contact those who can.   
Some issues that people are encountering:
· You must take the training under the church you are registered at.  Parishioners of Sts. Cyril & Methodius please note: to find Sts. Cyril & Methodius you will need to scroll down to Sts. and then you will find it.
· Each person taking the training must have a personal email.  If you try to use one that has already been used, it will not let you.  You will need to set up an email in your name. 
· There is NO CHARGE to you or the church for this training or background check.
· Under your profile, please mark the correct box if you are an employee or volunteer.  These are probably the only two that will be related to most.
