The entire family is involved in creating a safe environment<br />
for children. In <strong>2009</strong>, <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> partnered with St. Francis<br />
Hospital to teach <strong>Safe</strong> Sitter. <strong>Safe</strong> Sitter is a medically<br />
accurate instructional program designed to prepare young<br />
adolescents for the profound responsibilities of nurturing and<br />
protecting children. Potential babysitters learn lessons such as<br />
how to look for dangers, how to handle situations, and what to<br />
do in emergencies.<br />
<strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> continues to work with local licensed daycares<br />
and elementary school Pre-K Coordinators to teach children<br />
about household poisons. The <strong>Safe</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Children’s<br />
Environmental Health Program continues to educate the<br />
community about Lead Poisoning, Air Quality (mold, asthma,<br />
etc.), Rabies, Snake Bite, and Vector (mosquitoes, ticks, etc.).<br />
