CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE PREVENTION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping nurses in the loop about how child sexual abuse education is being addressed at the primary and secondary levels.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Aimee Snyder –\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just wanted to share what we\u2019re doing with the secondary Health teachers for child sexual abuse prevention education. Julie and Marci are aware of this too, though they\u2019re a farther behind in getting to implementation and would only be field testing this a 1-2 elem schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secondary health teachers who requested Safety Matters (a child sexual abuse prevention curricula that complies with Erin\u2019s Law) have gotten access to the curricula and have started the 3-hour online training. We (me and KIDS Center) oriented them to the portal and got them started on the training. They are completing up until a certain part, then we\u2019ll meet back on Feb 15 to finish it in person so we can talk through questions and uncomfortable parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m working on\u00a0drafting a parent letter<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(with KIDS Center and Dean) that would go out to parents\/guardians before it\u2019s taught in a class. The letter would be an opt-out letter but will also include parent education and handouts to help parents engage their children in discussions on the topic at home. We\u2019ll also refer them to community-based trainings where parents can learn more about the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been working with Dean on this, but I thought you may want to be informed in case someone asks about what we\u2019re doing for Erin\u2019s Law or online safety for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are upcoming community events you could<\/strong>\u00a0refer parents\/families to attend to learn more about child sexual abuse prevention<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0You could also attend these yourself if you\u2019d like more information. Attached are handouts for the Jan 24 and 26 events and a handout for some of KIDS Center\u2019s upcoming SafetyNet trainings. This is\u00a0KIDS Center\u2019s full list of upcoming child sexual abuse prevention trainings<\/a>\u00a0for parents\/families and community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
