FOR PARENTS WHO HAVE SURVIVED SEXUAL ABUSE
OR WHO WANT RESOURCES TO TALK TO THEIR KIDS ABOUT SAFETY

1. Kidpower.org (https://www.kidpower.org/) teaches parents how to talk to kids about staying safe and teaches kids how to stay safe. Comment from listerv: “Kidpower workshops were offered for free to employees of the children's hospital where I worked. I felt the classes were excellent and gave really great age-appropriate information on staying safe in a variety of situations that could arise as well as how to respond to bullying.”
