ROAR is The CARE Center’s child-based education program that teaches children ages 4-8 how to protect themselves from abuse. The interactive and easy to implement lesson is free and designed to be taught in a classroom or group setting. A lion named Rex and his animal friends take children on journey to find his ROAR, a simple and memorable acronym that teaches children that their bodies are their own and empowers children to stand up against abuse. Take home materials reinforce learning and continue the Rules of ROARing conversation at home. ROAR is available in both English and Spanish.
*ROAR is officially endorsed by childhood sexual assault survivor, author, and speaker Erin Merryn (founder and President of Erin’s Law).
An experienced presenter will come to your school or organization to teach ROAR. Trainings include pre- and post-tests and a coloring activity. ROAR is available without cost to organizations that serve youth.
Due to the high demand of the program, we are only able to offer trainings within a 25 mile radius of Oklahoma City. If your group is 100 participants or larger, special accommodations may be available.
Rex Finds His ROAR compliments the ROAR program created by The CARE Center and is the perfect tool for parents and caregivers to read at home with their children to begin a conversation about how to be safe in some tough situations.
Rex and his animal friends will teach children as young as three that their bodies are their own, they should never keep secrets that make them feel sad or scared, and to identify trusted adults they can always go to for help.
When we teach children about body safety, we empower them to protect themselves from abuse.
We firmly believe that prevention education is crucial in ending child abuse in Oklahoma County. In today’s technology-driven world, one concerning issue often overlooked is the detrimental effect of social media and the internet on children.
In an age of digital dating, shopping with just a click of a button and unlimited access to the world’s information, we often forget about the risks associated with the internet.
We recently had the opportunity to sit down with them and ask some questions about their important work. In this blog, we’ll share their insights and highlight some of the amazing things they do to help keep our children safe.
