What is Body Safety Program?
The Body Safety Program aims to empower children by giving them knowledge and skills to protect themselves from dangerous situations.

- Protect themselves from dangerous situations when parents are not around.
- Recognize and respond to dangerous situations
- Trust their instincts and understand their emotions
- Build self-esteem and assertive skills
- Be empowered for their own protection
