Trusted Adults and Telling

- You should have more than one trusted adult in your life.
- No question or problem is too embarrassing to bring to a trusted adult.
- If someone is touching your body in a way you do not want, tell a trusted adult right away.
- If the first person does not believe you or does not help, keep telling another adult.
- It is never your fault if someone touches you without your permission.
- Doctors, teachers, parents, and therapists are examples of trusted adults.
