Dear Parents and Guardians:

As we are now moving into summer, it is very important that we continue to talk to our children about prevention.  We need to make keeping our children safe a priority.  Many camps and daycare facilities are down this summer and we need to continue to provide the information they need to make good choices.  Let’s do this together and be positive role models for our children and all families!

In today’s world, it is very easy to forget about the impact this current crisis has on our children.  We will be working this summer to provide information and ideas for our children and their parents/caregivers.  We will discuss current prevention tools to help with some of the issues we are dealing with today and our everyday prevention information.  Please help us get this information to parents, teachers, caregivers, tutors, grandparents, and others who help make up your child’s safety net. 

Using Facebook and our website, we will be able to provide information to children via our Kid’s Blog and Adults via our Parent’s Blog.  “Like” and “Follow” our Facebook page at Minnesota dare for announcements on the latest information or check out our Blogs at www.mndare.org
