Thank you for assisting your middle/high school student to complete the at-home virtual Called to Protect for Youth (CTPY) program.

The at-home CTPY program uses a series of audio recordings and a student activity sheet to teach the lessons on boundaries, boundary violation and responding.

The at-home CTPY takes about an hour to complete. You and your child can then take time to discuss the lessons and topics at a later time.

All middle and high school students in your family can complete CTPY together – this is a great opportunity for older students to help their siblings learn this important information.

To begin the at-home virtual CTPY:

1. Make sure you have a copy of the student activity sheet for each child. (If you did not  receive a copy of the student activity sheet from the parish or school you may print an activity sheet for each child.)

2. Press the yellow play button to begin listening to the five audio recordings: Introduction, Sessions 1-3 and Conclusion.

3. Each session begins with the CTPY lesson and concludes with completing a section of the activity sheet.

4. Once completed, please return the activity sheet to your student(s)' teacher(s), using whatever method your parish or school is using to collect classwork done at home this school year.
