Comfort House staff presented the Good-Touch/Bad-Touch program to 339
students in North Harrison, New Middletown and South Central Elementary
Schools during the Spring 2009 semester. This program is a comprehensive child
abuse prevention curriculum designed for Pre-school and Kindergarten
through sixth grade students, which works as a tool to teach children
the skills they need to play a significant role in prevention or
interruption of child abuse/sexual abuse and bullying in their own
lives. Children are taught what abuse and bullying are; are given
prevention skills including personal body safety rules; and are
motivated into action if threatened or victimized. The program has been
formally evaluated by major universities and has been recognized several
times for its effectiveness. If you are interested in arranging a
Good-Touch/Bad-Touch Program for your school classroom, please contact
Melissa Cast at (812) 225-5437 or by e-mail at
melissa@comfort-house.org.
