A number of education and outreach programs available from ChildSafe are listed here. If you are interested in additional topics, please contact our Education and Outreach Coordinator to discuss your needs and inquire about cost of presentations:
Yello Dyno curriculum (should be taught once a week for six weeks or a shorter version could be taught in one class session of an hour)
The Yello Dyno Method is a child personal safety curriculum teaching children, without fear, pre-K thru 5th grade that teaches children to:
1) recognize deceptive behavior,
2) reawaken instincts and feelings (intuition), and
3) build self-confidence.
Issues of child abuse and abduction, drug abuse, peer pressure, internet safety, sexual abuse, and violent kids are age appropriately addressed. Conflict resolution is accomplished when children learn how to recognize and step out of dangerous situations. Children apply the tricky people concept to behavior that is dishonest or dangerous for their safety.
Recommended Audience: Any agency working with children including schools, churches, and daycare. There is a 4-person minimum for this program.
