Teachable Safety Skills for Dental Hygienists

Course Description

The workshop uses current research to help the audience move past many of the myths repeated in this sound bite topic and recieve actual facts. This presentation focuses on what works when talking to children and teens about personal safety. In the last twenty years, the research has helped us move away from HOW a child knows a person and instead focuses on how the person makes the child feel. Knowing that the people the child already knows provide the greatest risk for abduction and abuse, our safety messages zoom in on BEHAVIOR and not RELATIONSHIP. We teach the Uh-Oh Feeling, What-If Games, Bystander to Hero, and the importance of Protecting Your Online Footprint.

Learning Objectives

1. Dismantle the myths that commonly surround personal safety for children including the Stranger Danger myth.

2. Identify reasons that personal safety education should INCREASE at puberty instead of decrease.

3. Provide examples of warning signs of child maltreatment that Hygienists can watch for in their interactions with families.
