Abuse prevention training for adults to help kids stay safe

Parents and teachers have a huge job: guiding children and teaching them about their world. But keeping them safe is probably the most important job of all.

One-time lessons in schools have raised generations of kids to be afraid, but haven’t always empowered them to trust their own feelings and develop strategies for self-protection.

Protective Behaviors: training teachers and parents to help kids recognize unsafe feelings

Child abuse prevention starts with simple behaviors. Simple things kids can learn so they understand what safety feels like, know the difference between a safe adventure and unsafe situations, and develop a personal network of supportive people to call on if they need help.

I’m Rob Seemann and I have a passion for teaching adults to help children identify, trust and talk about their feelings so they can recognize and get away from unhealthy and potentially abusive situations.

My Protective Behaviors workshops are helping parents and teachers in Portland, Oregon and beyond learn how to talk about hard topics with children—in a way that doesn’t make them more afraid but, instead, encourages them to identify the messages their bodies are telling them and seek help and support from a trusted adult.

The Protective Behaviors workshop

Protective Behaviors is the no-scare alternative to those programs that build fear in kids and leave them confused. You’ll learn in exactly the same way you’ll be working with your children or students. No more wondering what to say or fumbling for the right words.

The proven, research-based Protective Behaviors model is profoundly simple yet highly effective. Learn more about what you’ll do, learn and practice in my workshop. Access more resources and strategies to open the door to greater communication, empower the children in your life, and teach them safety in a fun, easy-to-understand way.

Call me today at 503.489.1881 to schedule a Protective Behaviors workshop for your school or community. In a safe, fun and interactive workshop, you’ll learn and practice the steps of talking to kids: how to have conversations that empower them rather than leaving them feeling afraid or helpless. You’ll walk away with everything you need as an adult to support the kids in your life and help them recognize their right to feel safe in any situation.
