Programs

Programs for safer neighborhoods and stronger families

Safe Kids Now Network focuses on neighborhood health and safety as the foundation for safer cities, and on giving parents the guidelines they need to widen the opportunities in front of their children.

Neighborhood Safety Experts

Cities are stronger when they invest in trained Neighborhood Safety Experts, citizens who understand their own community and can help neighbors break through fear and isolation. Learn why city leaders are turning to this model to reduce crime and rebuild trust block by block.

Adverse Childhood Experiences

Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences is the first step toward breaking the cycle of trauma. We provide clear, practical resources on what ACEs are and how resilience can change a child’s outcome, for parents, educators, and anyone working with young people.

Empowerment Parenting

Our core parenting curriculum, drawn from the book Empowerment Parenting, gives caregivers a roadmap for raising resilient children who become happy, self reliant adults, and who know how to protect themselves both offline and online.

More guidelines

Beyond our flagship programs, Safe Kids Now Network offers additional guidebooks for neighborhoods and city leaders, including The Adopt-A-Block Guidebook and My First Steps to a Safe Neighborhood, so every community can find the right starting point.
