How does Safe Homes Work?

The program begins when the parent(s) sign the Safe Homes Pledge Card. When you make the Safe Homes Pledge you are helping to support a drug-free environment for the children/youth of Perry County.

Benefits of signing the Safe Homes Pledge

  1. Positive parental influence on your children/adolescents.
  2. The promotion of parents supporting parents.
  3. Challenging the attitude among youth that underage use of alcohol is normal, healthy behavior.
  4. Challenging the attitude among parents that underage use of alcohol is normal, healthy behavior.
  5. Challenging the attitude among the community that underage use of alcohol is normal, healthy behavior.
  6. Strengthen the communication among parents and their children/youth.

As parents, join together to ensure a safe passage through adolescence to adulthood for our children/youth without the threat of drug and alcohol related problems.
