Safe Touches Campaign
Safe Touches is an evidence-based child sexual abuse prevention education workshop for children in 2nd grade
The Lesson
Trained facilitators use puppets to provide children with evidence-based and developmentally- appropriate content about body safety while explaining what they can do if they, or someone they know, ever feel unsafe.
During these lessons, children learn:
- The parts of the body that are considered private
- The difference between safe and not safe touches
- What to do if a child feels unsafe, confused or receives a not safe touch
- Abuse is never the child’s fault
- Not safe touches can happen to boys, girls and all children
- A person that a child knows and loves can give them a not safe touch
