All effective safety programs begin with education and understanding. For example, bicycle safety starts with knowing how a bicycle works and understanding the risks involved with bicycling. Learning about personal boundaries is the first step to personal safety. Good boundaries yield a lifetime of healthy relationships. The more we know about boundaries and safety issues, the more we can protect ourselves and others. This is why the archdiocese mandates that Catholic schools provide instruction to our students on Touching Safety. Touching Safety lessons were given in October this year and are expected to also be given in April.
