Little Monsters, BIG Safety Tips!

Halloween is almost here, and Dunebrook wants all our little ghosts, goblins, princesses, and superheroes to have a safe and spooktacular night!

Before heading out for trick-or-treating, remember a few simple safety tips:

🔦 Be Seen: Carry a flashlight, use glow sticks, or wear reflective gear.

👻 Stay Together: Young children should always trick-or-treat with a trusted adult.

🚦 Cross Safely: Use sidewalks and crosswalks, and always watch for cars.

🍬 Check Treats: Look over Halloween goodies before digging in, and be mindful of choking hazards for little ones.

🚗 A Reminder for Drivers: Slow down and keep an extra eye out for excited trick-or-treaters!

From all of us at Dunebrook, we wish your family a safe, fun, and Happy Halloween!

Building Connections, Strengthening Families!

At Dunebrook, we believe that strong families help build strong communities!

Through our Healthy Families program, we love creating opportunities for parents and children to come together, learn, play, and connect.

From fun family activities and seasonal celebrations to educational opportunities and community events, our outreach efforts are about more than just having fun. They're about building relationships, supporting parents, encouraging healthy child development, and helping families feel connected to their community.

Serving families throughout LaPorte, Starke, and Pulaski counties, our Healthy Families team is committed to making meaningful connections and creating positive experiences for parents and children.

Because sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when families simply have the opportunity to spend time together.

Helping children stay safe starts with education.

At Dunebrook, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, confident, and empowered.

Through our Prevention Education Program, we provide age-appropriate education that helps children understand personal boundaries, recognize unsafe situations, and know when and how to ask a trusted adult for help.

By giving children important safety skills and encouraging open conversations, we're helping build a community where children feel supported and protected.

Because prevention matters, and every child deserves a safe childhood.
