WHAT IS SAFETEEN?

The safeteen program is an acclaimed assertiveness and violence prevention model that has been a resource for school communities in BC for over 3 decades.  Our highly trained team of facilitators offer skills for choosing healthy relationships, bullying and harassment prevention strategies and skills to de-escalate verbal, physical and emotional violence.

Most importantly the program cultivates empowerment, self-agency, critical thinking and self-esteem in children and youth.  This work can have a profound effect on curbing all forms of violence including self-harming practices.  The unique safeteen model provides children, educators and parents, with a language that can be integrated into school and family culture.  In the hallways, in the playground and at the dinner table safeteen cultivates peaceful community.
