This project leverages a long-standing collaboration with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency and the Child Maltreatment Solutions Network to prevent child sexual abuse on a wide scale. We partner with nine community partners across Pennsylvania to implement two evidence-based child sexual abuse prevention programs.

A 50-minute puppet-based workshop implemented in second-grade classrooms. The evidence-based curriculum teaches children about healthy boundaries, that it is okay to say ‘no,’ and how to get help from safe adults.
Adapted from an evidence-based selective prevention curriculum, this universal group-based program is delivered to parents of children under 13. The program teaches parents about healthy sexual development, communicating with children about sexual boundaries, ensuring safety, and obtaining help and resources.
