Overview
Mission
Our mission is to educate children, parents, teachers, service providers and others that injuries from fire and burns, motor vehicle crashes, poisonings, drowning and falls are largely preventable, and to provide effective, evaluated, research-based training and materials to promote safer behavior.
What it reported doing in 2021
Prevention first runs many different types of workshops to promote fire safety. To date, with the help of the red cross, many children who have been affected by fire have received age-appropriate program material through their classroom teachers to help deal with the emotional trauma and teach fire safety. The foundation has also created a website which is designed to be a resource for families on the importance of home fire drills and change your clock, change your battery campaigns. The foundation also offers half-day train-the-trainer workshops to staff, volunteers, and clients of 10 community agencies serving vulnerable populations including young children, older adults and people with developmental disablilites. We developed and delivered the "safe at home" program to provide in home assessment and safety training for people with intellectual disabilities.
