Location Served: USA
Magen Yeladim Child Safety Institute develops and distributes culturally sensitive child abuse prevention programs specifically tailored for the Orthodox Jewish community. Its flagship offering, the Safety Kid program, was originally created in 2006 and has since been expanded to serve schools, religious institutions, and social service agencies both in the United States and internationally. The institute delivers prevention education to children, parents, and educators, aiming to reduce the risk of abuse through proactive awareness and skill-building.
Key services include in-school prevention curriculums, workshops for parents and educators, and consultation services for communities seeking to implement child safety frameworks. The Safety Kid program is structured to be age-appropriate and is adapted to the sensitivities and standards of frum communities. The organization also provides training for professionals and lay leaders on identifying, preventing, and responding to abuse.
In addition to direct programming, the institute operates as a think tank, continually researching and designing new resources in response to emerging child safety needs. It works closely with community leaders and welfare professionals to ensure its materials remain current, effective, and aligned with halachic and communal standards. The institute is involved in both prevention and intervention efforts, offering guidance and support to communities facing abuse-related challenges.
