I used to work for an organization called the Montgomery Center for Assault Prevention in Montgomery County, Maryland (Now called Metro CAP), which is part of the international Child Assault Prevention organization. We went to schools and put on role-plays that taught kids ways to respond to bullying, assault and sexual assault. We even did age-appropriate workshops at nursery schools.
