Please visit our Parents and Caregivers page to learn about child sexual abuse prevention for adults. Learning about body parts Respect for bodily integrity Asking for help Social, assertive communication skills Sexual Assault Prevention Sex education should not only include information about contraception or anatomy. Quality, comprehensive sex education should include information about sex, sexuality and relationships.

VSC provides inclusive, trauma-informed and culturally responsive sex education. Below are a list of skills and topics that can help prevent sexual assault. The approach is to have discussions and skill-building activities that address sexual communication, sexual respect, and consent.
