Conditions
Summary
Violence has major consequences for the health and development of children and teenagers, even though it is commonplace, particularly in secondary schools. The team at the Centre Ressources pour les Intervenants auprès d'Auteurs de Violences Sexuelles Languedoc-Roussillon (CRIAVS-LR, CHU Montpellier) has created a BOite A ouTils to prevent sexual and gender-based violence: the BOAT, for professionals working with children and teenagers aged between 5 and 18. Structured around 5 themes and 4 age groups, the BOAT is very easy to use. The 134 intervention sheets have been validated and designed to target a risk factor (to be reduced) or a protective factor (to be developed) so that children do not become perpetrators or victims of violence.
