Every child deserves to be safe, and with ASSM, you can give children the tools and strategies they need to stay safe like using the MBF 5 Safety Rules and talking to a Safe Adult if they’re ever in an unsafe situation.
MBF After-School Safety Matters is a comprehensive, evidence-informed prevention education program ideal for extended-day programs, community centers, YMCAs, youth camps, faith-based organizations, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys & Girls Clubs, and other youth-serving organizations. The program is fun, easy to implement, and can be taught in any setting (no technology needed!). Lessons are presented to youth in grade-level clusters (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8) with 6 topic-specific lessons (30 – 60 minutes each) and include lectures, group discussions, skills-practice activities, games, and crafts.
