PRESCHOOL-PRIMARY

WORKSHOPS

These workshops focus on safety and abuse prevention. We can reduce the incidences of sexual abuse by teaching children to name their private body parts, helping them to identify the differences between safe, unsafe and secret touch, and supporting them to express a variety of emotions. These foundational skills make the world a safer place for children.
