If someone wants to hurt our children, they won’t choose a time or a place with witnesses. That means no parents, no teachers, no policemen, just our children and the predator. The safety of our children will depend on their ability to recognize a threat and respond effectively. This fun, interactive and age appropriate live virtual class teaches essential, lifesaving information about the threats facing our children, strategies for prevention and real-world self-defense techniques that can be learned from home. But most of all, these programs teach students that they have the right to be safe, that no one has the right to hurt them and that their life is worth protecting. And we have added a new kid friendly section on COVID19 and other communicable illnesses “How to protect yourself and stop the spread”. Parents you are encouraged to participate in the last 30 minutes of class to facilitate learning, but it is not mandatory.

Parents, class time is for the kids. If you have any questions, please contact Live Safe Academy before or after class at 586.771.8487 or info@LiveSafeAcademy.com.
