Prevention Curriculum
Along with a child psychologist, Lauren Book developed children’s sexual abuse curriculum that teaches elementary-age children the tools to prevent abuse and report it. The curriculum is a five-day, hour-long session that brings Lauren and Tara Zuckerman, a child psychologist, into school classrooms. The children receive one-on-one attention with the facilitators who send the children home with homework for themselves and their parents. The core topics covered in the curriculum are:
- Safety Awareness
- Respect for yourself and others
- Self-esteem Development
- Body Boundaries
- Listening to your Guidance Voice
- Accessing Help
- It’s OK to Tell (Secrets)
The curriculum is taught in the Miami-Dade County public school system.
