Awareness Presentations

The Children's Advocacy Center of Van Zandt County is available for faith-based, educational, community, and civic organization presentations that address awareness and prevention of child abuse.  We use The Play it Safe!® program which uses age-appropriate materials to speak to children Pre-K through high school in ways they can best learn and respond. Scripts and movies are developed through our evidence-informed approach to teach children how to reduce their risk of sexual and physical abuse by recognizing potentially abusive behavior, responding appropriately to threatening situations, and reporting abuse to a trusted adult..

Since 1983, more than 1.5 million children in North Texas have learned about personal safety from The Women’s Center Play it Safe!® program

For more information, contact Jourdan Lathem at 903-567-1212.
