G&M sponsored Street Smart Program
Street Smart Program Overview
Street Smart reminds teens and adults alike of the dangers of underage drinking, drunk driving, illegal drug use and not wearing seat belts. Taught by certified paramedics, this program helps audiences better understand the consequences of their actions, in turn helping reduce the number of accidents and fatalities each year.
Street Smart engages viewers rather than lecturing or preaching to them. Using factual information, actual medical equipment and demonstrations involving audiences, the paramedics provide a real-life look at the consequences of irresponsible actions. In addition, viewers learn to recognize EMS procedures, which may reduce anxiety in future trauma experiences. This is beneficial not only to the
Street Smart is presented by members of Stay Alive From Education (S.A.F.E.), a non-profit organization created in 1988 by firefighter/paramedics in Miami-Dade County, Florida, dedicated to reducing injuries and fatalities. The Street Smart presentation has been reaching students and military personnel across the country with its powerful message since 2002.
We presented at Galva High School, Alwood High School, and R.O.W.V.A. High School on March 27, 2012.
