Celebrate Safety Message

Written by Debbie Mahoney

Celebrate Safety has turned the difficult and sometimes scary subject of child abuse for younger children into stories which are both encouraging and empowering.

Message from the Founder:

As with our other child abuse prevention programs, Celebrate Safety has been developed to educate our youngest children on abuse. SOC-UM believes it is the responsibility of communities to provide pre-school, kindergarten, and first grade children a wellness program that lays the foundation for our Break the Silence - Yell and Tell elementary program -- to tell and keep telling until a trusted adult listens. Celebrate Safety has turned a difficult and sometimes scary subject for younger children into stories which are both encouraging and empowering.

Celebrate Safety is a creation by Janiece Hopper. Ms. Hopper, an elementary grade teacher, language development specialist, and SOC-UM's Director of Education, created the puppet program using her experience with primary grade children. Ms. Hopper currently lives in Snohomish, Washington with her husband and son.
