Mission and programs · 2023

• STARTING STRONG PARENT/CHILD WORKSHOPS: A TWO-HOUR INTERACTIVE PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN, AGES FOUR TO SIX, AND THEIR PARENTS/GUARDIANS TO INTRODUCE EVERYDAY SAFETY SKILLS AND GUIDE ADULTS TOGETHER WITH THEIR CHILDREN TO HELP ANSWER THE QUESTION, "HOW CAN WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO BE SAFE WITHOUT SCARING THEM?"SCHOOL/AGENCY WORKSHOPS: SCHOOL/AGENCY WORKSHOPS PROVIDE TRAINING FOR TEACHERS, COUNSELORS AND SCHOOL STAFF, AS WELL AS STUDENTS. THE KIDPOWER APPROACH ENSURES THAT EVERY CHILD PRACTICES EVERY SKILL PRESENTED THROUGH CAREFULLY FORMATTED ACTIVITIES AND ROLE-PLAYS THAT BUILD CONFIDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, AND AWARENESS IN DEALING WITH STRANGERS, ADULTS CHILDREN KNOW, AND BULLIES. PRE-SCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN CLASSES ARE PRESENTED IN TWO ONE-HOUR SEGMENTS. THESE MAY ALSO BE BROKEN DOWN INTO SHORTER TIME SEGMENTS DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL. CLASSES FOR FIRST THROUGH SIXTH GRADES ARE PRESENTED IN TWO TWO-HOUR SEGMENTS OR DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT TIME INCREMENTS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE SCHOOL OR AGENCY. ALL PROGRAMS TEACH CHILDREN TO RECOGNIZE AND AVOID POTENTIAL DANGER; TO WALK, STAND, AND MOVE WITH AWARENESS AND CONFIDENCE; TO DEAL WITH EMOTIONAL COERCION, INTIMIDATION, AND BRIBERY; HOW AND WHEN TO SET CLEAR, STRONG BOUNDARIES, BOTH WITH PEOPLE THEY KNOW AND STRANGERS; TO USE THEIR VOICES AND THEIR BODIES TO STAY SAFE; TO DEAL WITH BULLIES AND PEER PRESSURE AND TO AVOID BULLYING OTHERS; TO BE SAFE WITH TECHNOLOGY; TO TELL AN ADULT IF SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT HAVING A WEAPON OR THREATENS TO HARM SOMEONE; AND TO TELL AN ADULT AND TO KEEP TELLING UNTIL THEY GET THE HELP THEY NEED. EVENING WORKSHOPS REQUIRE THE PARTICIPATION OF AT LEAST ONE PARENT OR GUARDIAN, WHICH EQUIPS ADULTS WITH A COMMON VOCABULARY TO REINFORCE AND PRACTICE SAFETY SKILLS WITH THEIR CHILDREN AT HOME. PARENTS ARE INVITED BUT NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND DAYTIME WORKSHOPS. TEACHER/COUNSELOR TRAINING HELPS SCHOOL PROFESSIONALS LEARN HOW TO PRESENT SAFETY SKILLS IN THE CLASSROOM SO THAT THIS CAN BE PART OF THE ONGOING CURRICULUM.TEENPOWER VIOLENCE PREVENTION WORKSHOPS: TEENAGERS FROM AGES THIRTEEN TO EIGHTEEN LEARN TO PRACTICE SKILLS FOR DEALING WITH VERBAL ATTACK, PEER PRESSURE AND HARASSMENT, AS WELL AS ASSAULTS FROM STRANGERS AND ACQUAINTANCES. THESE CLASSES ARE FOUR HOURS IN DURATION. STUDENTS PRACTICE EMOTIONAL SAFETY SKILLS AND FULL-FORCE SELF-DEFENSE SKILLS ON A HEAD-TO-TOE PADDED INSTRUCTOR. WEEKEND FAMILY WORKSHOPS: THESE WORKSHOPS ARE TEN HOURS IN LENGTH (TWO HOURS FOR PARENTS ONLY AND TWO FOUR-HOUR SESSIONS FOR CHILDREN SEVEN TO TWELVE YEARS OLD). CHILDREN LEARN SKILLS TO DETECT AND DETER POTENTIAL VIOLENCE AND ABUSE. CHILDREN LEARN AND EXTENSIVELY PRACTICE ALL TECHNIQUES TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOL/AGENCY PROGRAMS WITH ADDITIONAL REALISTIC PRACTICE OF BASIC SELF-PROTECTION TECHNIQUES. THE EMPHASIS ON BOTH PHYSICAL AND VERBAL SKILLS CREATES THE KIND OF KNOWLEDGE KIDS NEED TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND TO PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATIONS AND PHYSICAL DANGER.CLASSES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE BULLYING, EXPLOITATION, AND ABUSE AGAINST STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE AND TRANSITION STUDENTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS. SPECIAL NEEDS CLASSES ARE CONDUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES IN LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND AGENCIES SERVING INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. STUDENTS RECEIVE UP TO FOUR PERSONAL SAFETY TRAINING SESSIONS (ONE TO TWO HOURS EACH). PARENT EDUCATION MAY ALSO BE PROVIDED (TWO TO FOUR HOURS) TO HELP PARENTS REINFORCE AND INCORPORATE THE SKILLS INTO THEIR HOMES. KIDPOWER PROVIDES TRAINING AND COACHING TO TEACHERS IN THESE CLASSES SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO REINFORCE THE SAFETY SKILLS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. KIDPOWER ALSO OFFERS TRAINING TO DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED ADULTS.CUSTOMIZED PRIVATE CLASSES: INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING IS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS WITH NEEDS THAT WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVELY ADDRESSED IN A GROUP SETTING OR WHO MAY NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION TO A PARTICULAR AREA OF SAFETY TO BEST MEET THEIR NEEDS. THESE CLASSES VARY IN LENGTH.COMMUNITY EDUCATION FORUMS: THESE FORUMS TEACH ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SAFETY EDUCATION IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS AND TEACH SIMPLE SKILLS FOR ADULTS TO SHARE WITH YOUNG PEOPLE. THEY MAY ALSO TRAIN SCHOOL PROFESSIONALS TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO DISCLOSURES OF ABUSE. LENGTH VARIES DEPENDING ON REQUEST.ONLINE CLASSES: KIDPOWER HAS THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE MANY OF ITS CLASSES AND TRAINING SESSIONS IN AN ONLINE FORMAT. THIS ENABLES KIDPOWER TO REACH A WIDE RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, TO INCLUDE CERTAIN RURAL AREAS AND SCHOOLS/AGENCIES THAT WISH TO OFFER VIRTUAL SESSIONS ONLY.
