At Kidpower, we use the term “People Safety” to mean social-emotional interpersonal safety skills for preventing and solving problems with people and for developing healthy relationships that reduce isolation and increase happiness. You can use these 10 Core ‘People Safety’ Skills, and the links to articles that go more in-depth, as a checklist to prepare children, teens, and adults, including those with special needs, to take charge of their safety and well-being.
Our affordable safety comics, teaching books, handbooks, and program manuals prepare readers to bring Kidpower’s “People Safety” knowledge and skills into their daily lives.
