Learn about ROAR!

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).

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.

Small, but Mighty: Sharing the Strength of ROAR

“One in seven children are abused in our county. One in seven, it is a really high statistic and something that should really strike fear in our households because this is something that is preventable,” shares Stacy McNeiland, our CEO & Founder of ROAR.
