It’s a Kid Thing Prevention Program
It's a Kid Thing is a prevention program for elementary students. The program seeks to inform children, in an age-appropriate manner, about child sexual abuse to prevent abuse and teach skills to disclose abuse. The program seeks to initiate a conversation with children and parents about sexual assault. To that end, community educators provide students with materials which they may take home and share with their parents to help create dialogue in the home about the issue.
