Engage parents, caregivers and families:
- Offer a parent education night to teach strategies for supporting youth with healthy decision-making.
- Raise awareness among parents/caregivers and staff about the importance of role-modeling (e.g. wearing a helmet and following traffic signals when riding a bike, not using cell-phones while driving, showing respect and empathy toward others, etc.).
Partner with your school community:
- Organize assemblies on cyber-bullying and cyber- awareness/digital/media literacy.
- Solicit local bike shops for helmet fitting or helmet donations; hold a bike rodeo partnered with community partners (e.g. police).
- Take part in the Swim to Survive program (Gr. 3).
