Prevention education teaches kids how to recognize and respond to signs of abuse
With over 16,000 kids in Hancock County schools, it’s critical to help them understand signs of abuse, how to prevent it, and bring awareness to the issue. That’s why Zoey’s Place is now providing a comprehensive program teaching K-12 students about:
Discussing hard topics
Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Telling a trusted adult
Identify your circle of support.
The importance of consent
No means no.
Signs of abuse
Beyond bruising and broken bones.
No blame, no shame
Abuse is never your fault.
Safe and unsafe touches
The difference is critical.
Accessible abuse prevention education for all ages
Studies show that kids who participate in prevention education programs tend to provide more accurate and in-depth accounts of their experiences compared to those who have not. These skills aid law enforcement and prosecutors during the investigation process.
We want every child in Hancock County to receive high-quality, evidence-based abuse prevention education. In addition to in-person sessions, we can train-the-trainer and provide your school with materials and handouts.
Zoey’s Place is also a member of the Indiana Prevention Education Coalition.

Thanks to grant funding and support from local donors, these programs are available to Hancock County schools at no cost.
Prevention trainings are booked for the coming academic year. However, you can email Molly Goodman to request more information.
