What are safe and unsafe touches?

How do we talk about uncomfortable topics?

What are the signs of abuse?

Evidence-based prevention education helps kids and adults stop abuse

Kids who have participated in prevention education are far more likely to be detailed and specific in their disclosures, which helps law enforcement and prosecutors during an investigation.

Susie’s Place uses evidence-based programs from the Monique Burr Foundation, kNot Today, Darkness 2 Light, and others. All are age-appropriate for their audience.
