Our Body Safety program is based on best practices in abuse prevention drawn from child safety experts, educators, and national and state guidelines. Lessons are fun, age-appropriate, and engaging for students at all levels. We use puppets, group discussions, and videos to deliver important messages in a child-friendly way.
Participation is completely voluntary. Our goal is to help students and their caregivers learn simple, powerful ways to help keep kids safe.
