Sexual Harassment Awareness & Prevention – 6-Session Educational Program

A structured educational program to understand, recognize, and prevent sexual harassment in its different forms, with age-appropriate adaptations for individuals, couples, families, parents, and sons/daughters.

This 6-session educational program provides clear, respectful, and age-appropriate information about sexual harassment, how it can appear in everyday life, and what can be done to prevent it and respond safely.

The program explores different forms of sexual harassment, including verbal, non-verbal, digital, physical, public-space, educational, workplace, and social media contexts. It also focuses on boundaries, consent, assertive communication, digital safety, and help-seeking strategies.

The approach is educational and preventive. It is not legal advice and does not replace psychotherapy, emergency support, or specialized intervention. However, it is delivered from a professional, sensitive, and respectful perspective, adapted to the needs and age of the participants.

Who Is This For?

Individuals, couples, families, and parents with sons/daughters who want to better understand sexual harassment, prevent harmful situations, build respectful communication, and develop safer personal, relational, and digital boundaries. Content is adapted according to age, context, and participant needs.
