Speak Out – Summer ’17
Victims Resource Center presents hundreds of Child Safety programs each year to children in pre-school through second grades. These programs empower children to say “No!” to inappropriate touches and to tell an adult if someone tries to touch them in a way that makes them uncomfortable.
While these programs are important, they are not enough. We recognize that adults must take responsibility for protecting children and preventing child sexual abuse. To help parents develop skills to prevent abuse, Victims Resource Center is collaborating with the Wilkes-Barre City Health Department to offer Parents in the Know.
