The Link to Prevention
Welcome to “The Link to Prevention,” an occasionally recorded podcast created by the prevention team at the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC). This season, the podcast will focus on reaching parents, guardians, and any other adult who has kids in their lives. Members of the prevention team will be discussing their experiences providing education about consent, healthy relationships, boundaries, and online safety in the Renton School District this year. They will discuss the concepts they’re teaching to students in middle school and high school, collaborate with fellow advocates and experts, and answer questions asked by students in these schools. The episodes are meant to normalize these conversations and build community, while providing parents and guardians with insights about their role in preventing sexual violence.
