CAP (Child Assault Prevention)
CAP Workshops
Each CAP workshop teaches children that they have three basic rights: which are to be SAFE, STRONG AND FREE. Through guided group discussion and student involved role-plays, the more common types of child abuse are acted out in a safe and interactive environment. These, along with the assertive skills a child needs to prevent abuse; a special safety yell and some self-defense instruction are implemented in the curriculum. At the completion of the workshop, CAP has made the children effective members of the Prevention Team.
- Also offered are parent presentations and teacher/staff in-services, to help educate adults about the types and signs of child abuse and reporting procedures.
- Workshops are approximately 1 hour long, including a review session where children may meet with facilitators on a one-on-one basis.
