Kidpower, a nonprofit leader in abuse- and violence-prevention for children and adults, makes it FUN to learn about being safe, rather than scary. Caring adults can use the Kidpower Method™ to protect children and teens from bullying, child abuse, abduction, and other violence — and empower young people with practical skills for developing healthy relationships, increasing confidence, and taking charge of their emotional and physical safety.
