Child Abuse Prevention Month word search puzzle worksheet activity

Protective vocabulary appears inside a large word-search grid designed for introduction or review. Its term bank includes ideas about safety, trusted support, rights, speaking up, advocacy, shelter, healing, and empowerment. The page does not teach a reporting protocol or replace safeguarding guidance; it is a vocabulary puzzle only. A completed companion page supports checking while keeping every marked location out of the visible description.
