For more information about the Our Whole Lives curricula, see http://www.uua.org/owl/ Age appropriate messages for a pre-schooler include: Age appropriate messages for an early elementary school-age child include: A person who is sexually abusing a child may tell the child to keep the behavior secret.

Self Safety Guidance Program VIRTUS : Joining Together to Protect Godâs Children Sex Abuse Prevention Programs Combine Best Practices with Continuous Improvement The Diocese of Tulsa is among the nationâs leaders in responding to the child sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church and is well on the way to fully implementing the Protecting Godâs Children⢠programs and other elements of the VIRTUS® programs. These programs were developed over the last five years by The National Catholic Risk Retention Group, Inc. (National Catholic), a not-for-profit organization that provides risk control services to approximately one-third of the Catholic dioceses across the country. Unbeknownst to many, the Diocese of Tulsa has had an inside track in the effort. The AGOS GROUP, LLC, a Tulsa-based risk management company has overseen development of National Catholicâs program dating back to 1997. In 1998, the National Catholic board appointed an ad hoc committee to work with the nationâs premier child sexual abuse experts to develop prevention and response programs. Sharon Doty, a long-time Tulsa resident and lifelong Catholic is a consultant on the project and has organized and directed the work of these experts for the last four years. The Diocese implemented this VIRTUS program in February, 2003, and since then more than 6,200 people from around the Diocese have attended a session. At the end of 2004, more than 243 sessions have been offered in more than 62 sites around the diocese.

Extractions: The National Safe Kids Campaign organization has reported that each year unintentional injuries kill and disable more children than kidnapping, drugs, and disease combined - making this the #1 health risk facing school age children today. Many caregivers, parents and community members can teach children to recognize and avoid risks, thus preventing many injuries. Risk Watch is an injury prevention program developed by the National Fire Protection Association and Lowes Home Safety Council in collaboration with a distinguished coalition of national experts, the private sector, and safety advocates. It has been successfully field tested in the United States and Canada. It has five teaching modules with lessons that address the eight risk areas that are responsible for the greatest numbers of annual childhood injuries and deaths. Utilizing innovative programs such as creating safety trade shows and analyzing risky behaviors through storytelling, role-playing, songs, and other stimulating activities for pre-school to eighth grade levels. Although Risk Watch programs have been incorporated into curriculums in some school systems to be taught by the teachers, other school systems have elected to have the program presented by community members as a special event. The OESO Fire Safety Division and other OESO employees have volunteered to present this program to Easley and Eastway Elementary Schools as part of our community fire prevention program. The Fire Safety Division utilizes the fire and burn prevention module to teach children fire safety at home and school, but the program includes other modules: Motor Vehicle Safety, Choking, Suffocation and Strangulation Prevention, Poisoning Prevention, Falls Prevention, Firearms Injury Prevention, Bike and Pedestrian Safety and Water Safety. Individuals interested in becoming involved in this important endeavor should contact Theresa Cromling, RN, Durham County Coordinator for the Risk Watch Program at 684-6799.

Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among teens, following automobile crashes. And these figures don't reflect the prevalence of failed suicide attempts, which some experts estimate may be as much as 100 times more frequent than completed suicides. "We're good at counting deaths," says EDC's Lloyd Potter, "but we're not good at tracking hospitalization and acute care due to suicidal behavior." Potter, one of the country's leading experts on youth suicide, directs the Children's Safety Network (CSN), headquartered at EDC/HHD and funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. CSN comprises a group of resource centers that assist state governments and local communities in protecting the health and safety of the country's young people. CSN provides information, training, and technical assistance to the state agencies that develop and implement injury, suicide, and violence prevention programs. It also helps state and local health departments analyze injury data and promote effective strategies in such areas as automobile, bicycle, and playground safety; poison and fire hazards; and child abuse and neglect.
