In facilitating an historic program last year, New York Help Center in conjunction with Interborough Developmental and Consultation Center and NEFESH International was at the forefront of providing an abuse prevention program that involved the participation of many Yeshivas throughout New York. This program encompassed educating educators, parents as well as children with the skills children need to be safe from abuse. Well respected experts from within the community as well as the rabbinical leadership of the community presented on the topic of "Keeping Our Children Safe". The Highlight of this program involved actually integrating abuse prevention into the classroom setting.

The abuse prevention model was recently presented at the Torah Umesorah Convention evoking further interest in providing such programming in the future in many more settings.

Below are some excerpts of the programming.
