About Bravehearts

Bravehearts believe that it is essential to actively support and advocate for the rights of children and families impacted by sexual assault. Keeping children safe is one of the most important things we do as parents, educators or other caring adults. To do this, we must equip children with the knowledge and skills they need to avoid risky situations and give them an understanding of their rights to protect their own body.

Bravehearts is achieving this through their education and prevention stream, bringing one of this country’s most innovative and proactive programs to schools across the nation. Teaching children personal safety helps young people learn the skills to identify their vulnerabilities while devising strategies to both protect themselves and get help.

While talking to children about sexual assault may be uncomfortable for some parents, personal safety can and should be taught to all children - even preschoolers. Thankfully, very young children can be taught personal safety without ever hearing frightening terms like “sexual assault”.

Bravehearts MISSION is to stop child sexual assault in our society.

Bravehearts VISION is to make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child.
