Pre-Teen
Grades 6 & 7
We empower pre-teens with prevention skills to deal with all forms of violence safely and effectively.
Safeteen's safety and empowerment program for pre-teens gives youth strategies to deal with verbal violence, emotional violence, sexual violence and threats of physical violence. Safeteen teaches them to stand up for themselves and what they believe in, without violence; and offers powerful alternatives to violence. Based on Safeteen’s unique assertiveness model that children and youth readily embrace, the program utilizes a dynamic and experiential teaching style, that addresses pre-teens on their own level, working with issues that are relevant to their everyday lives. Youth will be taught to connect with the power and wisdom within and speak from an authentic place of strength, so they can hold their power and speak their truth.
