Helping teenagers know their bodies, trust their gut instincts and be their own advocates when it comes to personal safety.

Just as seatbelt safety, fire safety and bicycle safety are important lessons for growing children, so are conversations about the safety of their own bodies.

Turn the sometimes hard and serious conversations about personal safety into a fun evening with your family. This brochure outlines five topics for discussion, and ideas for creating activities kids will enjoy.

When it comes to body safety, touches are never a secret. This brochure helps you talk to your child about touches in a way that isn't scary or that makes them uncomfortable.

For anyone who is having thoughts of running away, this brochure sends a very important message-help is available-and provides a list of resources and contact information.

Play "what if...?" games to spark conversations with kids while you are in the car, at the store or during any other shared time.
