Propower: Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse
Learn what’s included – and how to join or organize a live online program!
English | Español
Every youth-serving professional – ranging from educators working years with the same youth to health providers with a child for one brief moment – has unique opportunities to reinforce safety concepts that can help protect children from sexual abuse.
Plus, investing the time to put these ‘safety habits’ in place has the potential to make your work even more effective, more efficient, and less time-consuming – in addition to helping kids be safer!
We’re here to help you integrate these concepts and techniques into your standard practices – for yourself as an individual provider or more broadly throughout your school, agency, office, practice, therapeutic facility, camp, gym, club, team, or league!
In this live online program for youth-serving professionals, we explore practical ways to integrate Kidpower’s trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and concepts into standard practices – as well as how to adapt them based on your roles, relationships, and responsibilities – with a focus on the prevention of child abuse.
You’ll leave with strategies to:
- adapt workplace practices to ensure consistency with Kidpower Boundary and Consent Principles
- integrate high-value safety words, phrases, and concepts into your regular communication
- promote knowledge and understanding of healthy boundaries and body autonomy
- recognize and maximize your own unique opportunities to model, coach, and/or provide direct instruction of safety skills
- use the Kidpower Positive Practice Method as a management tool to address potentially unsafe, disrespectful behavior
- replace ‘discomfort distraction’ practices with positive engagement strategies to communicate powerful boundary principles when
- providing necessary but unwanted touch (i.e. shots, dental care, physical therapy, covid testing, diaper changing, etc)
Plus, you’ll learn ways to help youth and families develop age-appropriate skills and understanding related to:
- safe and unsafe secrets
- safety rules about private areas
- boundaries and relationship safety
- advocacy and self-advocacy
- safety planning
You can enroll in a Propower: Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse Community Workshop organized by Kidpower whenever one is open for registration on our Community Workshops page – or, you can organize one for your own group!
Community Workshops make up about 5% of our services and are open for anyone to enroll. Each has an individual per-screen enrollment cost, and we have a generous scholarship policy.
Most workshop types and topics are offered Community Workshops 1-5 times a year – and are organized much more often by people like you for their own school, agency, business, group, or community.
These privately organized workshops make up about 95% of our services. They are NOT listed on our Workshops page, because the groups themselves decide who to include.
Privately organized workshops have a per-class class, not a per-screen or per-participant cost. All costs include one-on-one email support with questions before & after the workshop and links to resources to help you & your colleagues apply, adapt, and practice the skills.
