Talking About Touching (TAT)

TAT is conducted in three sessions:

Day 2: Touching Safety
Children learn about safe touches, how to say “No” to unwanted touches, the Touching Rule, and steps they can take to stay safe.
Day 3: Overview
A review of key concepts from both Personal Safety and Touching Safety.
