What if we could reduce violence not just by responding to it, but by preventing it before it ever occurs? That\u2019s the goal of Sollera\u2019s prevention education team\u2014and it starts earlier than many people realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sollera\u2019s educators work in schools and throughout the community to teach age-appropriate lessons on body autonomy, boundaries, consent, and healthy relationships. These conversations help young people learn they have the right to say no, to trust their instincts, and to respect others\u2019 boundaries as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of Sollera\u2019s most well-known programs, Red Flag Green Flag, is designed for second graders. Using clear, kid-friendly language, the curriculum helps children identify safe versus unsafe behaviors\u2014empowering them with knowledge without fear. These lessons lay a foundation that can protect children long before they\u2019re able to articulate concerns in adult terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prevention education also extends beyond elementary schools. Sollera works with teens, parents, educators, and community groups to talk honestly about unhealthy relationship patterns, warning signs of abuse, and how to support someone who may be experiencing harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By normalizing conversations about consent and respect, Sollera\u2019s prevention work helps build safer communities from the ground up. It\u2019s quiet, proactive work\u2014and it\u2019s one of the most powerful tools we have to create long-term change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2025, Sollera\u2019s Prevention Education Team presented nearly 1200 presentations in our community. They visited 69 schools throughout the Fargo-Moorhead region, up 19% from 2024.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
