“The BRAVE Programs developed by The Joyful Child are invaluable to building a child’s or adolescent’s self-confidence and self-advocacy, and gives even young children the ability to develop and implement their own plan for their personal safety in many diverse situations.”

“Thank you for teaching BRAVE lessons at school! We went out for a family bike ride over the weekend and my son got separated from us. When he realized he couldn’t see us up ahead, he rode his bike straight over to a police officer to be safe!”
