This virtual meeting will provide caregivers with an introduction to the Healthy Relationships Project (HRP). HRP is a health-based, developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed child sexual abuse prevention curriculum for children in grades Pre-K to 5th grade. This curriculum was developed by Prevent Child Abuse Vermont and has been implemented in 29 states and the District of Columbia for over 30 years. HRP is not a curriculum about sexual education; instead, it is a curriculum that helps children build skills to identify feelings that make them safe or unsafe, identify boundaries, use anatomically correct terms, and identify safe adults.
As a Parent/Guardian/Caregiver:
- You will be invited to attend workshops on topics relating to the prevention of child sexual abuse during the semester.
- You will be asked to participate in periodic online surveys about your knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding child sexual abuse prevention.
- A small number of caregivers from each school will be invited to participate in a one-on-one virtual interview with a researcher from the evaluation team to share your thoughts and experiences.
