Starting Strong Workshops are an introduction to "People Safety" skills for young children ages 4-6. Storytelling, puppets and interactive role-plays teach children simple but powerful skills to: act aware and confident, set boundaries, stop unwanted touch, handle unkind words, be safe with strangers, and get help from adults effectively, even when they are busy.

This two-hour training introduces everyday safety skills (NOT physical self-defense skills) and guides adults in practicing these skills together with their children.
