We don’t want you to miss Wednesday’s special FREE online event, ‘Teaching Safetypowers – LIVE!’ – happening twice Wednesday, December 7: 12-1pm PT and also at 5-6pm PT.
We are grateful to our funder Ability Central for supporting the development of Safetypowers – and making it possible for us to provide this training at no cost to participants!
A team of four senior Kidpower instructors – with combined teaching experience of 100+ years! – will be sharing ways to help people with communication challenges be safe from bullying, abuse, harassment, and harm.
Plus, they’ll give hands-on, tailored guidance for using the free Safetypowers resource – a large and growing digital treasure box full of videos, skills guides, and other resources waiting for you just a few clicks away!
Enroll now – and please share widely with your colleagues, friends, family members, service providers, and others! We want to be sure all adults committed to the safety of people with disabilities and other life challenges that affect communication have the opportunity to join!
Email safety@kidpower.org with any questions – and we look forward to seeing you Wednesday!
