Our Safetypowers Safety Signals will help you to create a common language with the children, teens, and adults in your life about what it means to be safe with your bodies, your feelings, and your relationships with others. Learning, teaching, and practicing these simple gestures, drawings, and words together helps people of all ages and abilities to remember to use these skills and follow these safety rules everywhere they go, in-person and online.
The Safetypowers program shows how we can use our many kinds of POWER to stay SAFE. These Safetypowers help us to prevent harm such as bullying, abuse, and violence - and to develop positive relationships that reduce isolation, protect mental health, and increase happiness.

The Safetypowers skills and safety rules that these signals represent fit together to prepare ourselves and others to:
  • Prevent and stop trouble with people
  • Stay safe with our feelings, words, and bodies
  • Build better relationships
  • Take charge of our safety out in public
  • Develop healthy boundaries with people we know
  • Take charge of our feelings
