Primary Prevention

Our evidence-based primary prevention program, PEP Talk introduces children to six basic concepts that help them develop and strengthen healthy relationships and acquire skills and attributes that lessen their vulnerability to abuse and bullying. Topics covered include:

• 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 program teaches children primary prevention skills appropriate for their age and stage of learning and development. The accompanying guide provides strategies to reinforce the concepts introduced through classroom activities.
