Rape Prevention Program


The Rape Prevention program is designed to educate students age 13 to adult about forced or coerced non-consensual sexual contact.  
Our seminars, training programs or workshops on the myths and realities of rape, date rape drugs and reducing one’s risk of rape, can be altered to meet specific needs or age groups.

Keeping Children Safe from the Internet
 

Why is it dangerous?

Predators use chat rooms as a hunting ground to locate their victims and gather information on how
to approach the child.

Warning signs to watch for that show your child may be at risk:

• Your child spends a large amount of time online at night
• You find pornography on your computer
• You receive phone calls; hang-ups or mail from people you do not know
• Your child turns off the computer or changes the screen when you walk in

How to help your child:

• Talk openly to your child about the dangers of strangers on the internet
• Put spy software on computer and get caller ID
• Monitor your child's access to the internet
• Keep the computer in a common room in the house, not in your child's bedroom
