How Ditto Fits In

Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure program is a key part of Bravehearts’ broader prevention work. Alongside support services, adult training, research and advocacy, Bravehearts is working toward a future where children are free from sexual harm.

Child sexual abuse is experienced by children and young people of all ages; however, in more than half of cases, the onset of abuse is between the ages of 0 and 8. This is why personal safety education programs like the Ditto program are so vital in the fight against child sexual abuse.
