Personal Safety Programs

 

Poison Prevention Safety: According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, more than one million children in this country were involved in accidental poisonings in 1996 -- and more than 90 percent of those poisonings occurred in the home. AHF provides programs to families and children to educate and to serve as a reminder that we must teach younger children what substances might be poisonous and to teach older children how they can protect themselves and others from accidental poisoning.

Car Seat Safety Education: Car crashes are the leading cause of accident-related death among children. Every year car crashes kill around 1,800 children under 14 and injure 280,000. AHF works closely with the National Safe Kids Coalition to provide programs at our communities.

Holiday Safety: The Holidays are a time for celebration. They are also a time for increased risk of hazards. AHF, with local law enforcement employees, provides programs to keep families safe during the holiday season.
