The safety of kids is everybody's business!

 

Research has shown that bullying, abuse, and other harmful childhood experiences cause suffering both when they occur, and throughout people's lives. Unfortunately, discomfort and lack of knowledge often make it hard to take effective action. In the last year, thanks to the #MeToo movement and more, society has finally become more willing to discuss the problems of child sexual abuse and other violence. However, if we just raise awareness without teaching people skillful responses, that just increases anxiety.  Doing Right by Our Kids fills this critical knowledge gap.

Doing Right by Our Kids creates "Full Circle Safety" by getting adults on the same page with detailed plans, strategies, skills and best practices for child safety and abuse prevention—in families, schools, organizations, and communities.
