Project Safe and Smart (PS&S)

Project Safe and Smart is a grant-based joint project between the YSB and our friends at Centre Safe. This grant allows us to support our community by educating youth and Parents about Child Sexual Abuse and body safety.

Safe Touches

Safe Touches is an evidence-based body safety education workshop for youth in second grade. Trained facilitators use puppets to provide children with developmentally appropriate body safety content. While also explaining what they or someone they know can do if they receive an unsafe touch.

Smarter Parents Safer Kids

The Smart Parents program helps adult caregivers tackle tough conversations to help keep their youth safe by creating a protective environment for kids and empowering and supporting caregivers. This program facilitates a conversation about healthy child sexual development, setting good boundaries, ensuring safety, and Obtaining help in challenging situations.
