Home Alone Safety Class for Teens and Adults

Has your teen or adult with disabilities expressed an interest in wanting to be home alone for short periods of time while their parents/caregivers are away?

Please join us for a class that is taught by Trooper Nathan Dillon, a Michigan State Police Community Trooper out of the Brighton Post. This class will help your teen or adult with disabilities learn the skills to stay home by themselves safety! This will be Trooper Dillon's second time to teach this class!!!!

Participants will find out such things as what to do if a stranger is at the door, when to call 911 for help, what to do if there is a fire, how to interact with police and EMS, how to handle different types of emergencies, and how to be safe in the kitchen.

Trooper Dillon will also explain more about the Vulnerable or Impaired Person (V.I.P.) Program with the Michigan State Police. The V.I.P. Program “allows a parent/legal guardian/power of attorney of an individual with special needs to voluntarily provide the Vulnerable or Impaired Person’s (VIP’s) fingerprints and photograph for inclusion in a State of Michigan repository that can be used to assist in identifying the VIP should he/she become lost in the future or find him/herself in a situation in which he/she cannot identify him/herself.”

Light refreshments will be served.
