Learning about L.I.F.E.--Love, Infatuation, Friendship, Exploitation: A Family-Based Program on Relationships and Abuse Prevention

by Kieran Sawyer, Kathie Amidei

Learning about LIFE -- Love, Infatuation, Friendship, Exploitation is the only family-based abuse prevention program of its kind for use by parish leaders to guide parents in offering their children a foundation for healthy and loving relationships. Six interactive, age-appropriate sessions – for children ranging from preschool through high school – encourage parents to openly discuss sexual abuse with their children in the wider context of positive, loving relationships. Developed from the moral and doctrinal teachings of the Church and piloted with many parishes and schools, Learning about LIFE empowers parish leaders to guide parents through these important conversations with their children in a way that is appropriate, comfortable, and helpful.
