Back to School Time!

 
 

It’s back-to-school in Indiana, and the staff at the Indiana Center for Prevention of Youth Abuse & Suicide is getting excited.

 

Last year, we spoke to over 77,000 students across 100 school districts in 10 counties! That’s a lot of kids taught about red flag behaviors and help-seeking skills. Whether it’s our sexual abuse prevention, suicide prevention or digital safety curriculum, it comes down to some pretty simple steps.

 

The truth is – protecting our youth doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does have to be intentional. Our curriculum is intentional about teaching students what is ok and what is not. We do this by modeling how to have hard conversations and de-stigmatizing what is often stigmatized.

 

Intentionality is what we appreciate about the partnership with our schools. They set aside dedicate time to be intentional about protecting their students.

 

Intentionality is a driving value at ICPYAS.

 

It is with intentionality that we have redesigned our annual fall fundraiser, Treasure our Children. We’ve stepped away from the formality of a gala in favor of a more relaxed, fun evening of Trivia & Happy Hour at Daniel’s Vineyard.

 

Please consider joining us on September 12th for what promises to be a great time for an even greater cause. https://wedoauctions.com/bidapp/index.php?slug=icpyas
