Personal Safety for Children - Week of January 13
The Indiana Center for PREVENTION of Youth Abuse and Suicide will be presenting to all NBE students during the week of January 13. As a community, we must think of childhood sexual abuse as a preventable disease. Collaboration between educators, parents and guardians, child advocates, the medical community, law enforcement and our communities-at-large can proactively protect our children before abuse ever happens. Indiana Center for the Prevention of Youth Abuse and Suicide (formerly Chaucie’s Place) will be visiting our school soon to participate in this collaborative effort. The Child Lures - Think first and stay safe curriculum will be presented to the students. Providing relevant, balanced and proven prevention strategies to families and children increases awareness and knowledge of how to recognize, interrupt, stop and prevent these crimes.
For K-6 (elementary) the body safety program will cover:
· Using our brains to keep us safe
· Bullying
· Body safety and the idea “my body belongs to me.”
· Brainstorm trusted adults
· The difference between secrets and surprises
· Trusting our “guts” or innate feelings
· The idea that everyone is special
*****As a parent if you do not want your child to participate, please contact the school counselor (Mrs. Sherri Leiner sleiner@hse.k12.in.us) for the opt-out form.
