We also provide private trainings, in-person or virtually, to any group of interested adults on a variety of topics including talking to children about private parts and safety, recognizing and responding to concerning behaviors and situations that increase risk of abuse, and supporting children with healthy boundaries, consent, and relationships.

Are you interested in hosting a private training for a group of parents and caregivers? Reach out to us to talk about how we can create the best training for your group!

CARES Northwest can provide trainings to a variety of groups within a school including administration, teachers, counselors and social workers, school staff, parents and caregivers, and students. Our trainings are research-based and evidence-informed and focus on prevention: how can we create schools and educational environments that prevent interpersonal violence and child maltreatment from occurring before it starts?

In addition, CARES Northwest offers a comprehensive violence prevention curriculum for students grades 6-8; “Building Foundations for Healthy Relationships (BFFHR).”

The curriculum is evidence-informed and meets the requirements of Oregon’s Erin’s Law as well as many of the Oregon Department of Education’s teaching standards for violence prevention. BFFHR provides four lessons in each grade for a total of 12 lessons. Lessons are interactive and build on one another to provide youth a foundation on healthy relationships, healthy development, and safe environments.

CARES Northwest offers a variety of prevention trainings for our community. Trainings are tailored to the needs of your organization and use interactive, adult learning strategies to empower groups to take effective steps in preventing child maltreatment and interpersonal violence while promoting safe and healthy relationships.

For youth-serving organizations, CARES Northwest has developed a Child Abuse Prevention Program focused on training staff, volunteers, and management on proactive and sustainable steps they can take to reduce risk of harm towards children and create a trusting and safe organizational culture.

CARES Northwest is here for any kids or teens looking for resources or education about child abuse, consent and boundaries, or preventing violence and making change.
