Safe Spaces: Bullying Prevention for School Age Children

2 Saturdays, December 1st & 8th, 2018     Time 9:30 am - 4:00 pm                   *12 hours (in-class training)

Safe Spaces is a focused, integrated approach to social-emotional development that helps prevent bullying by growing pro-social behaviours. Safe Spaces builds a sense of community where all children, staff, and families feel they are valued and that they belong; this is the foundation of a safe space. Safe Spaces for School Age Children is designed in four modules, and explores several conflict resolution models. Three domains within each module offer a balanced and well-rounded program with ready-to-use resources and ideas that create safe spaces for all children and families in our programs.

NOTE: After completing this training participants will be invited to our free Safe Spaces Community of Practice sessions to deepen their learning.

Objectives:

  • To understand how the Safe Spaces program works.
  • To explore the 4 Safe Spaces modules.
  • To learn how to implement Safe Spaces in child care programs with school age children.
