April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Child Abuse Prevention Month. We are always looking to teach people more. This year for Sexual Assault we are talking about consent.
To learn more about Child Abuse Prevention visit www.yanktonfamilyvisitation.org/


It is a common misconception that consent is just about sexual actions. Consent is also "Can I hold your hand?" and "Can I hug you?" While this may not seem important asking before you do something can make them feel more comfortable and let them know you respect them, their bodies, and their choices.

This year we are working to raise awareness for there to be no more we need to know more. If you would like to order a shirt or sweatshirt click the link below. Friday April 7th, is the last day you are able to place an order. This design to the left minus the heart is what you would be getting.

​We know it can be hard to talk to your teen about consent but the change can start with them. It is also important to communicate with your partner what you are comfortable with in the relationship.
