Family Safety

She seemed "Perfect" but something was terribly wrong...Why I believe children need KidSafe!!

Why have I chosen my mission to keep Kids Safe?  One little girl changed my life!!! This is my story: I am a licensed clinical social worker. Years ago I was a Guidance Counselor in a middle school and was fortunate to know an amazing 12 year old girl – she was a straight A student, class president, and often served as a role model for new students getting acclimated to the school. She came to my office one day and handed me a little magazine clipping – it read: My step-father has been sexually abusing me what do I do? I was stunned!

How well do you do know your babysitter? This is my story.......A must read for all parents!

People always ask us....why did you start the KidSafe Foundation? This is my story... Years ago prior to having a child I was a psychotherapist to women who had been physically and sexually abused. As they say sometimes things happen for a reason and it may take years to figure that reason out. My reason happened after I had my son and was a stay at home mom for 3 ½ years. I had just had my 5th miscarriage and my husband called our babysitter, who we had been using since our son was 6 months old, and asked her to come watch our preschooler because we really needed a night out. She was a big part of our family and knew about our fertility issues and agreed.

KidSafe Foundation offers prevention education programs for children ages 4-15 and their parents. This consists of providing adult seminars, teacher workshops and in classroom lessons with the children.  Prevention Education Life Skills are taught through a 4, 6 or 8 week program.  The lessons are  fun, developmentally appropriate  and include activities such as song, art, role-playing, games, and discussion. This empowering program allows the children and parents to open communication regarding sensitive topics in a safe environment.
