RISK WATCH

Risk Watch is a comprehensive injury prevention curriculum for children in preschool through grade eight.

For children ages 14 and under, the number one health risk isn't kidnapping, drugs, or disease. It's injuries.

Risk Watch helps kids beat the odds
With proper education, children can learn to be much safer and prevent injuries. And, that's exactly what Risk Watch is designed to do. Perfect for schools as well as educational programs in fire departments, hospitals, and other community agencies, Risk Watch gives kids the skills and knowledge they need to recognize and avoid risks.

Risk Watch's experiential approach to education makes learning fun
Risk Watch activities combine teaching and imagination to help children learn to promote their own personal safety and well being, as well as that of their friends, families, and communities. Students are actively involved in exercises such as creating a safety trade show, analyzing risky behaviors through story-telling, role-playing, songs, etc.
