Description

FREE Kidpower Program for Fountain Valley Elementary Schools
 August 30 & September 6, 2023 from 5-7:30 pm
Enrollment required

Since 1994, Kidpower of Colorado has been teaching children and the adults who care for them the skills and self-confidence that they need to stay safe and respond constructively to threatening circumstances. Kidpower provides experiential, developmentally appropriate, evidence-based programs that teach children skills that help them stay safe from abuse and harassment, including bullying. Learn more at www.kidpowercs.org or call (719) 520.1311.

What skills do children learn?

  • Be aware and confident
  • Keep a safe distance from strangers
  • Use voice and body to stay safe
  • Get help from busy adults
  • Set boundaries on unwanted touch or behavior
How do we teach these skills?
  • We use upbeat language that is skill-based, not fear based
  • Kids have opportunities to “learn by doing” in a fun and empowering way
  • We focus on positive, practical solutions children can use to leave or stop problems as quickly as possible

These workshops are for 1st through 5th graders AND their parents/adult caregivers. Space is limited, first come, first served.
