Program Providing Safe Environments for Teens in Guilford a Success

The Safe Homes Program launched at the beginning of the school year in Guilford has been successful so far, Jack Kramer reports for The Guilford Courier.

The program launched as an initiative of the Development Assets for Youth (DAY) non-profit organization has signed up 160 families for the program so far, the Courier reports. 

The program has been utilized across the country since 1983 and offers parents an opportunity to join together in providing safe, drug and alcohol-free environments for their teenagers to socialize while presenting a clear message to the Town’s youth.

A list of participating parents is shared on a password protected page on the program’s website that only participants have access to. This gives parents the opportunity to see whether the home their child is going to will be drug and alcohol free and whether the gathering will be supervised. It also allows parents to email each other and ensure that parents are aware of the gathering taking place.

For more information on the program visit the DAY website.
