Summer means new programs, new camps, and new caregivers in our children's lives. It also means a fresh need for adults to be educated, prepared, and willing to ask hard questions.
Children gain independence over the summer — at day camp, overnight camp, sports programs, or extended visits with family or friends.
Three things every parent and caregiver can do before the season starts:
→ Get educated. Learn the warning sign behaviors of concerning adults, and learn how to talk with children and teens about prevention.
→ Be prepared to speak up. Know what to ask the leaders of any program your child joins. Practice the conversation before you need to have it.
→ Create or refresh your family Safety Plan. It's the foundation for every prevention conversation that follows.
If you're worried about a specific situation — a coach, a counselor, a relative — you don't have to figure it out alone. The Stop It Now! Helpline is free and confidential.
