Preventing Abusive Relationships: Part 3
Risk Assessment
Read the following scenario.
One day, Lisa was walking home from work. She usually did this since the walk was rather short. This one particular day, though, she was distracted while using her cell phone and took a few wrong turns. When she realized this, she immediately got a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. She didn’t know why, but she immediately felt unsafe. She decided to do a risk assessment to determine how much danger she was in. The feeling in the pit of her stomach was a sure sign of danger. She thought about how she got there and realized that she had been looking at her cell phone. She didn’t know where she was or how to get home.

Sexual Assault and Abuse affects hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. It is up to us to take an active role in providing age-appropriate educational information to our students.
Although there is no way to prevent assault or abuse from happening, the strategies in these lessons can help to minimize a child's risk and show them where to get help if needed.
