The VSAP Project curriculum is offered free for download to any organization that does not intend to profit from using it.

The following Exceptions, Delimitations and Disclaimers apply:

Any school or organization using this curriculum should require parental permission prior to participation since the material and discussions may be graphic and explicit in nature. Organizations should also be aware that previous violence, sexual assault, or rape victims frequently suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and exposure to this program may invoke a negative reaction. Students who have been victims should be cautioned to seek written approval from a mental health professional before participating. Since victims’ privacy must be honored, any student who chooses not to participate should be offered a suitable alternative project without question. Also, since the physical portion of the self-defense curriculum is moderately strenuous, organizations offering this curriculum should require medical release forms prior to participation. All students and their parents should be notified of each of these concerns prior to the start of instruction and provided with the proper waivers and release forms. Development and use of any notifications, waivers, permission forms, and release forms is the responsibility of the school or organization using this curriculum.

Noticeably omitted from the target learners are males. While men and teenage boys do encounter significant violence, even sexual assault, the typical nature of the violence and, consequently, the specific strategies of avoidance and prevention are different from those of females. Schools or organizations implementing this or any other violence prevention curriculum for females may also want to examine other types of violence prevention programs designed for males. One useful resource is the Office of Justice Programs with the U.S. Department of Justice. Organizations offering a VSAP curriculum for women or girls should also consider a program that involves males in the prevention of male violence against females. Such programs typically help define male roles in prevention, teach how male stereotypes and perceptions may promote the violence, and examine cultural issues that may stand as obstacles to prevention.
