Protecting children from sexual abuse is the responsibility of adults who are emotionally and intellectually equipped to prevent this tragedy.
Prevention Education for Children
The prevention staff at the CAC partner with area schools to implement a school-based curriculum to educate children about body safety and their right to feel safe.
Our Prevention Team utilizes pre-k – 12th-grade curriculum to educate children, one classroom at a time, using age-appropriate, grade-specific lessons.
Curriculum Used:
