About MBF:
The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) is a non-profit based in Jacksonville, Florida started in 1997 by Edward Burr to continue the work of his late wife, Monique Burr, a devoted child advocate. Since 2010, the foundation has focused exclusively on prevention education with the goal of providing the best, comprehensive, evidence-based/evidence informed prevention programs to youth to help adults protect them from abuse, bullying, and other types of victimization they face in society today. Since 2010, over 4,500 trained facilitators (teachers, school counselors, outreach and prevention specialists, and other professionals) have educated and empowered over 4.5 million children and youth in the U.S., Bermuda, South Korea, and the Cayman Islands using MBF Prevention Education Programs.
MBF CERTIFIED FACILITATOR TRAINING
MBF Prevention Education Programs educate and empower children and the relevant adults in their lives to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to bullying, cyberbullying, digital dangers, the four types of child abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect), and exploitation/trafficking. The foundational elements of all MBF Programs include the MBF 5 Safety Rules© and teaching children to identify and talk to Safe Adults.
