Safe @Home

Safe@Home is an introduction to safety skills and first aid necessary to prepare students for the responsibility of staying safe when unsupervised. This is a ninety minute class suitable for students in grades 4-6 to prepare them for being safe when home alone. However, Safe@Home does not include instruction on rescue skills, child care skills, or business skills.

Students learn how to practice safe habits, how to prevent unsafe situations, and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies. Students are also introduced to the Safe Sitter® First Aid Chart and learn a system to help them assess and respond to injuries and illnesses. The program is designed to prepare students for their first steps towards independence.

Safe@Home is ideal for students that have expressed interest in assuming the responsibility of staying home alone. Please contact Teri at tgottschalk@hancockhealth.org or by phone at (317) 468-4743 for more information.
