This facilitator training is designed for teams of three to five individuals from a Middle Peninsula or Northern Neck community with a commitment to provide Child Assault Prevention (CAP) programs in area schools or youth organizations. Participants are required to attend all three days of training. This is a wonderful opportunity for Elementary Schools to train counselors and volunteers to become a team to end sexual victimization of children through the education of elementary children, their parents, and teaches.
\n\n
Recognizing children’s vulnerability to assault, CAP focuses on children’s problem solving abilities to help them identify and diffuse potentially dangerous situation. In a one hour and fifteen minute fun and exciting workshop using role-plays and guided group discussion, children learn assertiveness, peer support, and how to identify trusted adults who can help them with problems. A complimentary workshop prior to the implementation of the children’s workshop educates parents, teaches, guidance counselors, and administrators about child sexual assault and prepares them to respond effectively to children in crisis. For more information about the National CAP program, log onto their website at www.ncap.org or www.casaonline.net/cap.htm.
\n\n

\nBeginnings
\nThe Child Assault Prevention (CAP) Project grew out of a response to a second grade teacher’s request for practical suggestions to prevent the sexual victimization of children. In 1978, Women Against Rape in Columbus, Ohio organized a group of concerned citizens that included teachers, parents, and therapists to research sexual assault against children. Their research led to the alarming discovery that one out of every four girls and one out of every six to ten boys are sexually assaulted before the age of eighteen. It became painfully clear that the problem of sexual assault against children needed to be addressed.
\nWhat began as a program for the second-grade class quickly evolved into a school project that included workshops for parents, teachers, administrators and school staff as well as children in each classroom. Requests for the program began to come in from other schools; the response to the fledgling Child Assault Prevention Project was overwhelmingly positive.
\nWomen Against Rape began the search for funding to enable them to pilot the program in several elementary schools. Both the Ms. Foundation and the Columbus Foundation awarded the funds necessary to begin the project, and in September 1979, the CAP Project was officially born.
