This week, our Lead Prevention Educator, Christy Harter, visited Jefferson Elementary School in Ionia to teach the Kids Have Rights program to kindergarten through fourth-grade students. You can see Christy in action in the photos below, where she is giving a lesson to third-grade students. Thank you, Jefferson Elementary staff and students, for having Miss Christy visit this week to teach students about body safety!

Kids Have Rights (KHR) is a program that educates and empowers students, school staff, parents, and caregivers to recognize, prevent, and stop child sexual abuse. Children in kindergarten through fourth grade are taught body safety education. Through interactive, engaging classroom lessons, KHR empowers students to attend to, value, and share their feelings. Students are taught how to recognize touches and situations that are or may be unsafe, and are provided with the language and support needed to seek help from a Safe Adult when needed.
