I am a previous Prevention Educator( Personal Safety and Community Awareness) with the Child Protection Center which is a private, non-profit organization aiding in the prevention, intervention and treatment of Child Abuse.  I also have an Elementary Education degree in first through eighth grades and have 10 years experience in a classroom setting and 6 years teaching online and ESL.  I have had extensive training over the years with this organization attending many conferences and local trainings.  I offer Personal Safety Lessons on Bullying, Internet Safety, Choices and Consequences, Empathy, Being Responsible, Respecting others' Differences, and Recognizing unsafe situations just to name a few. I have taught these lessons to students ages 3-18 in the public school system. I feel prevention is key and needed in order to empower students with the knowledge and confidence to handle situations in a safe, productive, educated manner. I am beyond grateful to able to teach topics that can actually make a positive impact in our students' lives. 

 We will watch a short video to reinforce what was learned "bullying is never okay".
