Submitted by Jessica Wildfong for Bedford Youth and Family Services
The Safe Homes program is a support network for Bedford parents with children in grades 6-12 who are concerned about alcohol and drug use at pre-teen and teen parties and gatherings.
Through Safe Homes, we are encouraging parents of Bedford middle school and high school students to make a pledge that they will provide a safe environment for youth when they have parties or gatherings in their homes – safe from alcohol, drugs, firearms, and other hazardous items.
The names of those who make the pledge will be included in the Safe Homes Directory – including the grade level of their children, address, and telephone number. The Directory is mailed only to those who have made the pledge.
If you have not already done so, you are encouraged to join the Safe Homes Program and make it clear that you are committed to providing a safe environment for teen parties and gatherings.
Underage drinking is harmful to kids. Love them enough to say no. Take the parent pledge.
You can sign up online for Safe Homes by going to our website www.bedfordma.gov/youth.
Let’s join together to keep all our youth healthy and safe.
