September has been a busy month as the team was finally back presenting our Body Safety programs into schools. It looks quite a bit different this year, as we are doing everything on a virtual platform for at least the remainder of 2020. In September, we educated the students in the following schools:
Pendleton Heights High School
Mount Comfort Elementary
McCordsville Elementary
Fortville Elementary
Union Elementary
Towne Meadow Elementary
Forest Dale Elementary
Mohawk Trails Elementary

This month's blog post is written by Megan Banet, our Grants and Outreach coordinator. If you've recently attended a Stewards of Children, you might recognize her! Read here for great information on having "The Talk" with kids.
Stewards of Children® is a child sexual abuse prevention program developed by the national organization Darkness to Light. This program educates adults to prevent, recognize and react appropriately to child sexual abuse. This training program is designed for parents and any adults who work with children or adolescents. Stewards of Children is the only nationally available program scientifically proven to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and change child-protective behaviors.
The QPR method was developed specifically to detect and respond to anyone emitting suicide warning signs. However, independent researchers and federal agencies who funded the original assessment of QPR have suggested that the QPR intervention could be useful in far broader applications as well. QPR is an evidence-based prevention program backed by 30 years of research. When properly used QPR works from knowledge, compassion, and understanding.
