Our evidence-based primary prevention programs introduce children to six basic concepts (self-esteem, communication, making good choices, respect for self and others and how and where to get help) that assist them to develop and strengthen healthy relationships, and acquire skills and attributes that lessen their vulnerability to abuse and bullying.
I'm A Great Kid!, an innovative primary prevention program for children 8 to 11 years old, empowers children to think and act in positive ways. The program includes a 20 minute DVD (with six 5-minute teaching modules) and an accompanying guide that can be used to introduce and reinforce the following basic concepts:
- the importance of building positive self-esteem
- developing effective communication skills
- making good choices
- respect
- learning how and where to get help
- understanding different kinds of touch
This unique program teaches children primary prevention skills appropriate for their age and stage of learning and development. The accompanying guide provides strategies that reinforce the concepts introduced in each video through classroom activities.
The accompanying I'm A Great Little Kid! Program is available for younger children.
