Individual Youth & Children

At PB West, we offer supportive Protective Behaviours education for children and young people who are at risk of, or who have experienced trauma and abuse, including sexual abuse. Using a professional caring approach, we build rapport with children and families to engage and support the teaching of the themes and strategies of protective behaviours, and their application in everyday life

Our sessions take place within an environment where the children feel safe, usually their home, or at school. 

The aim of the sessions is to educate and assist children, and young people to feel empowered in accessing their rights to safety.

We cover a multitude of learning areas including, but not limited to, the following:

• Feeling safe
• Their right to feel safe at all times
• Safety equation- understanding the elements and applying them
• Problem solving- resilience and persistence, critical thought analysis.
• Protective self-concept
• Rights and responsibilities
• Public and private
• Secrets- safe and unsafe
• Personal space and body ownership.
• Networks of safe adults and how to ask for help
