|  The
Project P.A.R.E.N.T. (Prevent Abuse through Respect, Education,
Non-Violence and Training) curriculum is a child abuse prevention
tool intended to raise awareness about what constitutes child
physical, sexual, and emotional abuse and neglect. With this
awareness, child abuse can be avoided and our children can
remain safe. This curriculum is drafted in such a manner that
any person who works with parents and care givers can speak
to them intelligently and accurately about the following:
- the four different types of child abuse;
- the causes and effects of child abuse;
- how to detect child abuse;
- ways to prevent child abuse; and
- what to do if you know your child has been abused.
The Project P.A.R.E.N.T. curriculum is organized into 5 sessions,
complete with their own overviews, objectives, learning materials,
suggested teaching procedures and teacher discussion guides.
Each session is designed to last 1? hours, but this may vary
depending on the needs of the group, time constraints, and/or
length of the group exercises. The conclusion of the curriculum
contains a teacher resource directory to provide individuals
with additional learning materials, names of support services,
and a legal authority guide that contains selected California
child abuse statutes.
The Office of the City Attorney cares about children and
wants to promote their safety and the well being of their
families. We hope that the Project P.A.R.E.N.T. curriculum
helps to achieve this goal.
