Week 1: Recognizing and Responding to Children’s Sexual Behaviors

• Focuses on sexual behaviors in children–how to determine whether sexual behaviors in children are age-appropriate and how to use context to determine when behaviors are inappropriate or harmful. We provide guidelines and practice for responding to behaviors outside of what you would expect to see in children of various ages, with a focus on pre-pubescent children.

Week 2: Recognizing and Responding to Adults’ Sexual Behaviors

• Teaches how to recognize behaviors and situations that increase risk of sexual abuse by adults, how to set boundariesⁱ with those who interact with children, and how to speak up to keep children safe.

Week 3: Booster Session: Acting to Keep Children Safe from Sexual Abuse

• Using case studies and your experiences in the past two months, this session focuses on refining our skills for use in a variety of contexts.
