SafeTalk (1st, 3rd, & 5th grades)
Comprehensive, child-friendly workshop designed to help keep children safe.

Uses the curriculum of the Child Assault Prevention Project.

Focuses on empowerment & encourages children to be “safe, strong, & free”.

Combines guided discussion with role-plays that focus on situations children frequently encounter, like bullies, strangers & known adults who may behave inappropriately.  Teaches children how to recognize & respond to a potentially harmful situation & how to express their concerns to a trusted adult.

Feeling Safe (Kindergarten)

The program promotes personal safety, teaching children how to be assertive & the importance of not keeping secrets that are scary, harmful &/or painful.
The program is developmentally appropriate & conducted by Certified Sexual Assault Crisis Counselors.
“Feeling Safe” is safety education, not sex education.
Parents & teachers are partners in the process & we welcome your involvement. To find out more about these programs, you are invited to attend a district-wide evening parent orientation meeting on Thursday, November 6th from 7:00-9:00PM (Darien Board of Education Conference Hall, 35 Leroy Ave).
