AUBURN — Mary Murphy of the YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston has received her Praesidium Guardian certification in child abuse risk management.
Murphy, who most recently served as chief operating officer, was promoted to chief human resources and risk management officer, allowing her to focus full time on staff and volunteer onboarding, and organizational best practice regarding all safety and liability concerns.
The Praesidium certification process for each YMCA is comprehensive, consisting of the Praesidium Know Your Score Assessment to identify potential gaps in abuse risk management practices, eight to 10 hours of pre-work, three days of in-person training and a work-and-learn assignment. The entire process took five months to complete.
Murphy is working with Y-USA staff and other YMCAs across the country on a strategic plan that will help to develop and strengthen the Y’s culture around child abuse prevention nationwide.
