Keeping Youth Safe: Firearms, Peer Pressure & Communication | SRVIC & Maristan

October 18 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for an important conversation focused on helping youth recognize unsafe situations, make confident and safe choices, and know when to seek help.

Parents will learn how to create open, supportive conversations with their children about safety, boundaries, peer pressure, and responding to potentially unsafe situations.

This event is designed to give both youth and parents practical tools for building awareness, communication, and confidence when it comes to personal safety.

This event is in partnership with SRVIC & Maristan
