Did you know that 1 out of 3 girls and 1 out of 5 boys will be sexually abused before they are 18 years old? In 2001 the Cache County Attorney’s Office served 1,421 victims of sexual abuse.

Good-Touch/Bad-Touch® is a body safety program which teaches children a very comfortable way to talk about a sensitive problem-the problem of sexual abuse. There is an age appropriate presentation for preschool through 6th grade. The curriculum is based around five body safety rules learned in order to stay safe.

BODY SAFETY RULES

• HEY, ITS MY BODY! - I have the right to know ALL the safety rules.
• THE “UH-OH” FEELING - If I feel like something’s wrong, then I’m right. Sometimes I need to ask questions.
• I can SAY “NO!” to sexual abuse or to bad touch.
• I will TELL SOMEONE if I am sexually abused or hurt.
• SEXUAL ABUSE IS NEVER MY FAULT

Good-Touch/Bad-Touch® is presented by well-trained, certified instructors and taught through song, interactive activities, repetition, movies and role play. This program is developmentally appropriate and gives children vocabulary to communicate on their own level. Children leave the presentation feeling positive and confident. On the final day of the presentation, children receive a pencil with Child & Family Support Center’s phone number and their own personal body safety credit card which list the five rules and has a place for personal safety phone numbers.
