This program is designed to help parents and adults normalize conversations about gun safety and take responsible actions that can prevent child gun deaths and injuries.
This program will take place virtually. Register and the link will be emailed to you. Join parents, caregivers and other adults to learn about the important reasons for safe gun storage in homes and vehicles to protect our children, teens and at-risk individuals. Even if you are not a firearm owning family, there are steps you can take to protect your children from unsecured firearms. This presentation supports the 2nd Amendment & is designed for ADULTS only. Plan for a 20 minute presentation with Q&A after.
The Be SMART framework teaches five simple steps we can all take to keep our families safe by keeping firearms responsibly stored. The Be SMART program also includes strategies to initiate conversations with family and friends about responsible firearms storage.
About the Presenting Organization-BeSMARTforKids.org: Everytown for Gun Safety launched The Be SMART campaign to raise awareness that secure gun storage—storing guns locked, unloaded and separate from ammunition—can save children’s lives. Be SMART emphasizes that it’s an adult responsibility to keep kids from accessing guns, and that every adult can play a role in keeping kids and communities safer.
