Safeteen - Violence Prevention Programs Company Information

General information

It is becoming evident that more and more adolescents, including girls, are resorting to violence as a method of solving disputes. To our dismay, younger and younger teens are engaging in "casual sex." It is clearly not enough to tell our teens over and over, that violence is not acceptable, and to advise them to report it, to just walk away (the two things that teens tell us they won't do!) It is clearly not enough to say, "don't do drugs," "abstain from sex." When our children are being bullied and harassed, the age-old advice to "just ignore it" or "give twice as hard as you get" is not any more effective than it was in past generations. In fact, in current teen culture, this advice can be dangerous. As concerned educators and parents, we need to be able to teach our children how to negotiate these potentially life-altering moments – themselves. Teens desperately need a way of standing up for themselves and for what they believe in that is effective, non-violent and powerful.

With a focus on gender esteem building, the SAFETEEN programs teach a unique, youth-based assertiveness model which has been integrated into curricula in many schools locally, nationally and internationally. This model, embraced by teens and praised by educators and parents, provides a violence prevention "language" that can be integrated into school and family culture.

The process is designed to provide youth with tools to identify their own voice of wisdom and to speak their truth from a wise and solid place. When our daughters and sons are faced with conflict and they feel they must choose between violence and victimization, these skills offer them another choice: a powerful alternative to violence.

"Teaching our children how to make choices from a place of inner wisdom can be the best prevention strategy of all." - Anita Roberts, SAFETEEN Program Founder
