Child Lures and Teen Lures teaches youth that their bodies belong to them and they have the right to say NO to any unsafe touches, that they should tell a trusted adult if someone does make them feel uncomfortable and that abuse could never, ever be their fault. Stewards of Children is a nationally recognized program proven to educate adults on how to protect children from sexual abuse by recognizing at risk situations and warning signs of abuse, thus empowering adults to take a stand. Lifelines provides a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention for schools and youth serving organizations creating an entire community able to respond appropriately to threats of suicide. QPR is a two-hour standalone training for adults that empowers them to intervene when someone is at risk of suicide. www.indianaprevention.org
