These Safetypowers Safety Signals will help you to create a common language with the children, teens, and adults in your life about what it means to be safe with your bodies, your feelings, and your relationships with others.

Learning, teaching, and practicing these simple gestures, drawings, and words together helps people of all ages and abilities to remember to use these skills and follow these safety rules everywhere they go, in-person and online.

In the first section of this ebook, the Safety Signals Charts show how to group the skills and safety rules in order to help us:

• Prevent and stop trouble with people
• Stay safe with our feelings, words, and bodies
• Build better relationships
• Take charge of our safety out in public
• Develop healthy boundaries with people we know
• Take charge of our feelings

In the second section, Using Safety Signals In Daily Life provides cartoon-illustrated examples showing children, youth, and adults using the skills to prevent and solve different kinds of problems with people.

The third section provides Individual Safety Signals with one drawing per page so that you can easily show, copy, and post the ones that are most important for members of your family or your students to remember and use.

Our Safety Signals were developed as a teaching and coaching tool that can be understood around the world and used by people of all abilities.

Our Safety Signals Charts are available in English, Spanish, French, and adapted for New Zealand! The Safety Signals and Classroom Posters cover the key interpersonal safety strategies, concepts, and skills that we teach to children, teens, and adults, including those with special needs.

You can use our Safety Signals Charts to teach social safety skills and concepts for how to:

• Prevent and stop trouble with people
• Take charge of our feelings, words, and bodies
• Build better relationships
• Take charge of our safety out in public
• Develop healthy boundaries with people we know

Once people have learned these ideas and skills, the Safety Signals (with and without the words) work as reminders to coach their use in daily life.
