The First Presidency has issued a statement to Priesthood leaders to prevent and respond to abuse. The letter states:
In 2008 the First Presidency issued a letter encouraging Church leaders to reach out in love to assist those who were suffering from abuse. This global issue continues to be of great concern to us today. Our hearts and prayers go out to all who are affected by this serious problem.
To help ensure the safety and protection of children, youth, and adults, we ask that all priesthood and auxiliary leaders become familiar with existing Church policies and guidelines on preventing and responding to abuse.
