Let's Talk With Our Kids: Sexual Abuse Prevention (PDF, 1MB)

This helpful resource for parents and other concerned adults will increase their knowledge about child sexual abuse and provide useful tips on how to reduce a child’s risk of being abused.

The brochure highlights the importance of adults dialoguing with children at an early age about safe and unsafe touching and speaking up if unsafe touching should happen to them. As children get older the dialogue should expand to include topics such as personal boundaries – learning to assert one’s own boundaries and also respecting the personal boundaries of others.
