About Prevention Training

Safe and Strong Child© Train the Presenter

Safe and Strong Child© Train the Presenter prepares organizations to implement Safe and Strong Child©, a National Children’s Alliance approved curriculum, child abuse prevention education program in their communities.

Safe and Strong Child© body safety curriculum is aligned with evidence-informed best practices for child sexual abuse prevention. Safe and Strong Child© consists of developmentally appropriate classroom lessons that are taught interactively through stories, role play, and song in a non-threatening environment. Portions of the curriculum also provide support and education to teachers and caregivers who can help to keep kids safe.

In the Safe and Strong Child© Train the Presenter, participants will be taught how to: present to students, school staff, and caregivers, use Safe and Strong Child© materials, coordinate a prevention education program, and respond to various classroom situations.

All participants will receive electronic copies of Safe and Strong Child© curriculum materials, classroom presentation aids, and coordination paperwork. For organizations who want to jumpstart their prevention education program, there is a physical Safe and Strong Child© Kit available in the course registration as an add-on to the training.

Safe and Strong Child© is an approved prevention curriculum by the National Children’s Alliance.
