More than 150,000 people have received Virtus training in the Archdiocese of Miami since the program began in 2003.

MIAMI | Virtus is a training program that helps parents, teachers and anyone who works with children recognize signs of sexual abuse and spot abusers.

Sessions are free, around three hours long, and required for all employees and volunteers in schools, parishes and entities of the Archdiocese of Miami. Due to the subject matter, children are not allowed.
