This week, in collaboration with my colleagues at Project S.A.R.A.H., we completed the first portion of the pilot run the sexual abuse prevention program I created for Jewish middle schools, called Connecting Is Respecting. It was quite successful by all accounts, and we learned a lot from this initial presentation which will help us make some important improvements in the program and in the evaluation process. So far we have presented to the 5th grade boys; plans to continue with the girls’ section, followed by 6th and 7th grades, are underway. Stay tuned!
