Sexual Abuse Prevention/Awareness
We partner with The Victim Center (located in Springfield, MO) to implement our state-mandated Sexual Abuse Prevention/Awareness lessons.
5th through 8th grade students participate by watching a series of short videos. The school counselor facilitates classroom discussions after completion of each video.
The primary focus of the lesson is on setting personal boundaries and ensuring others respect the boundaries someone has set.
As always, students may request to visit with a school counselor about sexual abuse or any other topics as needed. Requests to speak with a counselor can be made via email, by telling a staff member, or from student Chromebooks by accessing their Zizmail Bookmarks.
Resources from Victim Center
The Victim Center has some great resources on the topic of Sexual Abuse Prevention/Awareness. Some are tailored toward parents, while others are geared toward youth.
