"Take 25" Promotes Safety, Security of Children

Along with the USCCB Office of Child and Youth Protection, the Safe Environments Office of Detroit archdiocese promotes the efforts of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

In 2007, the Center's Take 25 program urges parents and educators to devote 25 minutes to simple activities and discussion on safety with children. A variety of resources, including safety tips, activities, and discussions guides, are available.
