Store It Safe Communities have taken on the SIS Designation to signal to their constituents that they are committed to building a community where safety comes first. When a community becomes a Store It Safe Designee, they are supported by the Ohio Chapter American Academy of Pediatrics through:
Branding & Recognition
Official Store It Safe Designation and community visibility.
Educational Resources
Access to safe storage and adolescent mental health materials.
Expert Guidance
Support and insight from pediatric and injury prevention experts.
Community Outreach
Tools to help educate families about safe storage of lethal means.
Store It Safe Communities have achieved success by distributing materials at community events, funding public service announcements, and promoting safe storage messaging in various types of media.
