Keeping Kids Safe

As children get older and become teenagers, they start making their own decisions about things like drinking, doing drugs, playing with guns, and other peer-pressure activities. 

Parents and role models can get ahead of this by understanding what might be dangerous, putting protective factors in place, and having open and honest conversations about these topics.  

Talking heart-to-heart with kids about things in the world today that are dangerous or that put them at risk of harm helps keep them safe and encourages them to make good choices.
