What kinds of skills does Kidpower teach?
Kidpower is the global leader in personal safety education for all ages, teaching skills for strong relationships and the prevention of harm. We teach prevention skills that help children, teens, and adults to stay safe, act wisely, and believe in themselves. With communication and safety strategies, we are able to tackle issues like bullying, child abuse, sexual assault, online abuse, discrimination, and more. Our core social-emotional safety skills help people of all ages and abilities take charge of safety and well-being. We teach skills like acting calm, managing emotional triggers, recognizing unsafe situations, setting powerful boundaries, applying safety principles, and using your voice and body to protect yourself.
Who are the people you work with?
We work with people of all ages in a variety of settings, you are never too old to learn how to protect yourself and those around you. Parents can learn how to advocate for their children and protect them from bullying and abuse. Young children can learn to be safe without feeling frightened, and as kids grow they learn how to balance independence with safety. Teenagers need knowledge and skills to take charge of their emotional and physical safety. We have adapted services for people with disabilities that focus on what individuals can do rather than what they cannot. We also teach safety skills that are tailored to address the safety needs of those facing homophobia, racism, and other forms of prejudice.
