Safe Kids, Strong Futures – Safety Starts with You

At a time when parents focus on many priorities at once, Safe Kids Month is a national celebration in May, dedicated to raising awareness about child injury prevention and reminding parents to take the time to focus on proven and practical tips to keep their kids safe. 

“Safe Kids Month is an opportunity for us to celebrate kids, learn about how to keep them safe and, ultimately, save lives,” says Shelly Willis, Safe Kids Coordinator. “This is a month where we can take time out of our busy schedules to focus on simple steps that can make a big difference in the safety of our children.”  

To support parents and caregivers, Safe Kids Wayne County is offering helpful resources, including:

Parent’s Guide to Child Safety – a guide with expert advice and easy-to-follow tips to help families reduce risks, prevent injuries and keep kids safe.

Family Safety Activity Book – a fun booklet that includes a maze, coloring pages, and other exciting games to keep your kids ages 4-8 safe.

Home Safety Graphic – an interactive graphic that takes parents room by room to show useful tips on how to keep their kids safe no matter where they live.
