All of the program information is age- appropriate and shared on a child’s level using children’s voices. For kindergarten and first grade students, there are recorded scenarios that are accompanied by child-like puppets, behind a puppet stage, acting out the various scenarios of children talking to each other about their experiences of bullying, problems and . The child-like puppets talk to each other and decide it is best to share their problems with adult puppets that are in their school and are trusted. These adult puppets represent adults in a child’s school (Principal, Teacher, Guidance Counselor and Gym Teacher) which makes the scenario very relatable to all children and provides guidance for a child that may be experiencing abuse or grooming behaviors. Children learn to recognize the types of touches that are safe and the types of touches that are not safe as well as safe and unsafe secrets. For third, fifth and seventh graders, there are several videos that are facilitated by our CAC Staff and encompass a wide array of issues. There are different videos for each grade and can be used interchangeably with the exception of the video used for seventh grade. The videos used for third and fifth grades “Break the Silence” includes various scenarios portraying bullying, physical abuse and sexual abuse. Every scenario uses children that have experienced each type of abuse. The children all share appropriate amounts of information regarding their abuse without offering details and includes how they received help from their school, a DCS worker, a non- offending caregiver and a Therapist. Each child survivor stresses the importance of telling someone, how much better it felt after letting go of a secret and how each of the survivors came to understand that what happened to them was not their fault and it happens to a lot of other children so the best thing to do is tell someone and get help because “ it is not your fault”. For seventh grade there are two videos used “From the Shadows”. The videos deal with conflict and communication within a family and one deals with sexual abuse. The videos are of kids demonstrating the positive alternatives of communicating calmly instead of getting angry (after the angry displays are demonstrated within the family) and storming out. The second video delicately demonstrates the harm caused by sexual abuse. Students learn to recognize appropriate expressions of familial love as compared to experiences where young people are made to feel they must keep secrets about situations which make them feel uncomfortable. Students learn about the resources in their schools, community and how to tell someone when their boundaries are violated.
