how to prepare for this lesson
Compassionate response reminder: Teaching prevention education helps provide students with language and tools to define and identify abuse. Often while teaching prevention education, students will disclose experiences of harm or abuse to trusted adults. This lesson is trauma-informed and has been designed to acknowledge the varied experiences students may have. Before teaching please be sure you feel equipped to respond to instances of disclosure with a compassionate, trauma-informed approach. Please also confer with other school staff on how to handle student disclosures and navigate sensitive topics raised during these lessons.
There are small group breakouts within this lesson. Be prepared to split your students into small groups.
