Kids are struggling with anxiety and stress because of the many issues impacting their daily lives.
This is more than a topic in the news – it’s what parents and teachers are telling us every day. Adults are upset and frightened and don’t know what to do to keep kids emotionally and physically safe.
We cannot give our children a perfect world. We CAN give them knowledge and skills that will help them stay safe.
By focusing on all the things we CAN do – instead of the things that are out of our control – we can help ourselves and our children have safer, happier lives.
Our free resources can help – and they are always just a click away. Every day, countless parents, educators, and youth services professionals turn to our Child Protection and Child Abuse Prevention resource pages for practical ways to protect and empower young people.
Plus, we’re leading a special live online workshop for parents, educators, and other caring adults teaching child protection strategies Wednesday, April 26, 4-5:30 PDT in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month and Sexual Assault Prevention Month, recognized every April in the US.
This free online event for parents, educators, and caring adults will be FREE! So, hold the date and keep an eye on our newsletters and social media – registration announcements will be posted next week.
