RIDGWAY — A comprehensive CROWNS Safety Training series designed specifically for individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDD) will be presented at Dickinson Center Inc.
The training is in collaboration with the Cameron & Elk Counties Behavioral & Developmental Program, and the Milestone Health Care Quality Unit of Northwest PA. This essential program aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to stay safe across various aspects of life including at home, in the community, online, and at work.
It is a three-week training series, one hour per session, on March 17, 24 and 31. The available times are 10 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 2 p.m. (the same information will be presented at both session times).
Each session will address critical safety areas through the CROWNS program, including community, residence, online, workplace, natural disaster preparedness and self-safety in relationships.
Each session will feature refreshments and an exciting drawing for a $10 Walmart Gift Card. Signups are required by the Friday prior to each class date. Attendance at all three sessions is required to earn the CROWNS certification.
