The MATCH Compass: a Decision GPS. A gold compass in a crystal shield with a red cape, ringed by five nodes: M Health Armor, A Built-In Radar, T Safety Kit, C Strongest Voice, H Daily Superpower. Three everyday moments: at a party, ride plan and safety buddy activated; in a group chat, digital circuit breaker and 3-second pause engaged; at the clinic, confidential intake and healthcare self-advocacy secured.
  • Health Armor

    Annual check-ups, vaccines like HPV and Hep B, and knowing your health baseline.

  • Built-In Radar

    Trusting your gut, reading the room, and catching warning signs early.

  • Safety Kit

    A charged phone, a ride plan, a safety buddy, and 3–5 trusted adults on speed dial.

  • Strongest Voice

    Rehearsed boundary scripts and the FRIES consent model.

  • Daily Superpower

    Sleep, movement, choosing your own pace, and protecting your permanent digital legacy.

Two tracks, matched to age

Content is split by grade band so every lesson fits where students are developmentally.

Two tracks, matched to age: Green Track for grades 6–8 and Blue Track for grades 9–12, either side of the CAPE compass shield. Green Track: foundational agency, FRIES Consent Café, relationship radar, the 3-Second Rule digital circuit breaker, and Module 3 clinical shields locked. Blue Track: frontline gear, vaccine armor, PEP and doxy-PEP timelines, healthcare self-advocacy, and Module 3 unlocked.
Grades 6–8

Green Track

  • Confidence, boundaries, and consent
  • The 3-Second Rule before sending anything online
  • Consent Café role-plays with boundary menus
  • The Digital Handoff: saving your plan before the class ends
Grades 9–12

Blue Track

  • Everything in Green Track, deepened
  • Protection and medical shields
  • Navigating clinics, insurance, and confidentiality
  • Naming the Ghosts and the Clinical Bridge: words for the front desk
  • The Green Light Pivot (Part 5)

Blue Track content is gated. Protection and clinical modules are never delivered to Green Track students, and are taught only with institutional approval.

The CAPE Promise

I am confident. I am aware. I am protected. I am empowered. I am CAPE.
The CAPE Promise: From Anxiety to Agency. Compass shield crest.
The 8 Core Promises: the blueprint for your leadership identity. Protection begins with you.
Foundation and Voice. Promise 1: Own my health and respect my body. Promise 2: Use my voice with courage and kindness, with the FRIES consent menu: Freely given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, Specific.
Instinct and Perimeter. Promise 3: Trust my awareness; rely on your Built-In Radar. Promise 4: Set strong boundaries; no is a complete sentence.
Promise 5: Carry my MATCH Compass, the Decision GPS for high-pressure moments: baseline, inject chaos, pivot to a backup layer.
Pace and Impact. Promise 6: Choose to wait; abstinence is a leadership power move; use the 3-Second Rule before posting. Promise 7: Lead by example; your choices create ripples.
Promise 8: Resilience. Come back to this promise on the hard days. Perfection is not required. Progress is.

For parents and guardians

You should know exactly what your child is learning. CAPE is built so families can see the materials before a lesson is taught.

  • Preview first. The CAPE book includes a Parent & Educator Guide, and a parent preview sample and family communication templates are available on request.
  • Age-gated content. Protection topics are Blue Track only (grades 9–12).
  • Waiting is a valid choice. Choosing your own pace is taught as a leadership decision.
  • Safe rooms. Every session has two adults present, and facilitators are background-checked mandated reporters.
