Abstract	Teaching elementary students about sexual health is not a common practice in the United States; however, the ability of children to understand and prevent sexual abuse could be learned in programs dedicated to improving communication about safe touch and boundaries. This study evaluates a program (i.e., "My Body, My Boundaries") currently being conducted in Mississippi with elementary age students and their parents. The hour long program taught children and their parents/guardians about proper body names and how to set clear boundaries of who can and cannot touch them. A total of 101 parents/guardians and 127 children completed the program. Significant improvement in parental self-reported knowledge was found with a pre/post-test. Recommendations for continued improvement have been provided. (As Provided).
