Before developing this website and these resources, we spent time talking to children —especially those who had experienced abuse, homelessness, and trafficking. Overwhelmingly, we heard that they wished they had been able to have more conversations with their parents or caregivers about sex, healthy relationships, staying safe online, and trafficking, starting as early as 5-years-old. Since we are our children’s first teachers, we decided to develop tools to make it easy for you to start having these conversations and supporting children in living safe lives.

Our activities help kids develop their awareness, identify support systems, and learn to take action on behalf of themselves and others. We believe that opening this communication channel is the most important step you can take to ensure their safety.
