Our #ProtectOurChildren liaisons in Eastern Oregon would like to pass on this info from Stop It Now!Click the link below⬇️ for more resources and tips to stay safe and #preventchildabuse this #summer! www.stopitnow.org/ohc-content/safety-planning-for-summer?fbclid=IwY2xjawShEmhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicml...Summer means new programs, new camps, and new caregivers in our children's lives. It also means a fresh need for adults to be educated, prepared, and willing to ask hard questions.Children gain independence over the summer — at day camp, overnight camp, sports programs, or extended visits with family or friends. Three things every parent and caregiver can do before the season starts:→ Get educated. Learn the warning sign behaviors of concerning adults, and learn how to talk with children and teens about prevention.→ Be prepared to speak up. Know what to ask the leaders of any program your child joins. Practice the conversation before you need to have it.→ Create or refresh your family Safety Plan. It's the foundation for every prevention conversation that follows.If you're worried about a specific situation — a coach, a counselor, a relative — you don't have to figure it out alone. The Stop It Now! Helpline is free and confidential.Read the full tip sheet here: www.stopitnow.org/ohc-content/safety-planning-for-summer#ChildSafety #ChildAbusePrevention #SummerSafety #PreventionStartsWithAdults #YouthServing ...
