Home Alone Program

This program, developed by the Canada Safety Council, is designed to provide children 9 - 11 years of age with the necessary skills and knowledge to be safe and responsible when home alone for short periods of time.

The program focuses on group discussions, problem solving, role-playing, and instructor-led demonstrations.
