Virtual Talking With Children About Safety from Sexual Abuse

April 17 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Having age-appropriate, open conversations about our bodies, sex, and boundaries is an important step in protecting children from sexual abuse. Talking about personal safety and sex creates a protective bond between parent and child, increases confidence for both, and instills knowledge that makes children and teens much less vulnerable. In this workshop, you will learn how to talk with and listen to children about sexual abuse and personal safety.
