Revised and updated, this manual is of even greater value. This book provides activities to reduce the likelihood that young people will be subjected to sexual abuse. The curriculum covers both sexual assault and sexual harassment. It explains the ways children and youth typically get tricked or trapped, that sexual abuse in not "normal," such secrets are inappropriate, and that they have permission to refuse unwanted touch.
