Skills for Child Protection Advocates Institute 
3-day Professional Training

Kidpower's Skills for Child Protection Advocates 3-Day Training Institute offers a unique opportunity for adults
to learn to use Kidpower’s prevention, advocacy, intervention, and personal safety strategies and skills to take charge of the safety and well-being of the children and teens in their personal and professional lives.

In the same way that learning water safety skills helps people to enjoy and be safe in and around water; learning Kidpower’s “People Safety” skills prepares people to be safe with people at home, at school, online,
out in the world… everywhere. These are the same skills that also help strengthen important relationships.

Institute participants develop increased tools for taking leadership to protect young people, including those
with special needs, from harm caused by thoughtlessness, neglect, bullying, abuse, or violence within their schools, organizations, youth programs, communities and families. No prior experience with Kidpower workshops or training is necessary to participate in this training. Topics addressed include:

• Kidpower’s Underlying Principle and key child protection strategies.
• 10 Core “People Safety” Skills to take charge of safety, prevent problems, increase confidence, and
  develop strong relationships.
• Kidpower’s Positive Practice Teaching Method to make rehearsing safety skills and coaching use in
  daily life both successful and fun.
• Assessment skills for recognizing specific child and teen personal safety issues.
• Signs, statements, and policies to promote cultures of caring, respect, and safety.
• Boundary-setting skills for advocating for safety effectively, respectfully, and persistently.
• Intervention skills for stopping and redirecting unsafe or disrespectful behavior powerfully and respectfully.
• How to use and teach People Safety, Relationship Safety, and Positive Peer skills to different ages and abilities.
• Applying Kidpower strategies and skills to address specific problems of bullying, abuse, violence, and
  other child maltreatment.
