Planning for Safety
This award-winning program is designed to teach and empower children to plan for personal safety. At the request of school counselors in ten San Antonio school districts, Assistance League volunteers present this 45-minute program to students in kindergarten through 5th grade at no charge. The presentation includes a DVD, colorful presentation cards and role playing to make the program fun and easy to relate to. The “I’m In Charge” booklet is sent home with each child to hare with his/her family and to encourage further communication between parents and the children.
Topics covered include:
- what to do when home alone
- being approached by a stranger
- recognize unsafe situations in malls, movie theaters, and parks
- protecting themselves on the internet
- gun safety
- bullying and cyber-bullying
During 2014-2015, this program was presented to 13,251 school children by 35 experienced
member volunteers.
