Description

Whether you own a gun or not, gaining knowledge on how to protect families from gun violence is critical for the safety and well-being of our communities. Older adults play a key role in this issue – about 2.7 million grandparents are raising grandchildren or living with their grandchildren, and about 1/3 of Americans at age 65 and older own guns. Currently, firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens up to 18 years old in the US, and the consequences of gun violence are pervasive and affect children, families, and communities. This program will teach you five easy-to-learn behaviors to keep children and families safe.
