To help children deal with abusive or dangerous situations, the center’s Child Safety Awareness Program teaches important personal safety skills, such as environmental awareness, support-system development, and assertiveness techniques. Available in Spanish, English, and Mandarin, the program’s culturally diverse curriculum is available at no cost for any school in the San Francisco Unified School District and for a small fee at any San Francisco private school.
