This workshop is designed to help you empower your children to avoid sexual abuse while you also teach them the value of healthy, nurturing touch, an important part of all of our lives. The program will include a video entitled What Do I Say Now? and a discussion on teaching personal safety rules and, specifically, touching safety. You will leave with a basic vocabulary for discussingpersonal safety with your children throughout their growing years.
