You see red hearts, lace hearts, romantic messages and love in the air at this Valentines time of year. But after the lace and roses, most of us face the real every-day tasks of raising families and caring for our kids. Most governmental agencies have some focus on keeping people safe, and some focus exclusively on keeping children safe in our dangerous world. The coordinator for a Washington State coalition dedicated to educating folks about safety for children is our guest this Saturday. Kathleen Clary-Cooke is with Safe Kids Benton-Franklin Health District, an organization that provides staff, operation support and other resources to keeping kids safe. Based on the needs of the community, this coalition implements evidence-based programs, such as car-seat checkups, safety workshops and sports clinics, that help parents and caregivers prevent childhood injuries. Kathleen spent a number of years in the communications field before going to law school and keeping a private practice for a number of years. Her work with abused and neglected children led her to her work with the Safe Kids Coalition. Join us Saturday at 11 am Pacific Time to learn more about how to keep kids safe, and what can happen when we don’t. Call-in with your comments to (646) 378-0430.
