My body is my own and I can keep it safe!

1
No matter how old, how big, how small or how strong you are, there is one thing that is always yours – your body.

It’s Mine!

My body is my own and I can keep it safe!
2
You are the only one who can decide who can hug you, give you a high five, or get close to you.

My Decision.

3
The parts under your bathing suit are private.

My private parts.

4
If someone tries to touch you or get close to you in a way that makes you uncomfortable, you can tell them, “No!” Then tell an adult you trust.

Who says No? Me!

My body is my own and I can keep it safe!

You have a BIG voice!

1
Nobody has the right to hurt you. If someone tries, tell them, “No.” Yell, scream and do what you need to do to be safe.

What can I do?

You have a BIG voice!
2
If you ever feel unsafe, the FIRST thing you should do is tell an adult who you trust.

Who do I tell?

3
If the adult you tell doesn’t believe you or won’t listen, tell another adult you trust until someone listens to you.

Don’t give up

4
If someone ever hurts you, IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT. You can tell an adult no matter when it happened.

When I’m ready

You have a BIG voice!

Be Brave!

1
Telling the truth, even if it’s scary, makes you brave.

I’m brave

Be Brave!
2
If someone tells you not to talk about something, it usually means they have done something wrong – not you.

I’m good

3
If someone asks you to keep a secret and it makes you sick to your stomach or worried you’ll get into trouble, tell an adult you trust RIGHT AWAY!

I’m smart

4
Don’t worry about getting into trouble after telling your story because being honest is a good thing, and the right thing to do.

I’m honest

Be Brave!

Tell Someone!

1
Do you know three adults you trust to keep you safe?

They care

Tell Someone!
2
If you had something happen which makes you feel bad, sad or upset, you can ask for help.

They’ll help

3
If you don’t have an adult who you can tell, you can call the police and tell them what’s going on. The police want to help you and protect you.

They’re friends

4
You will never get in trouble for asking for help.

It’s OK

Tell Someone!
