Use Pokemon go to Keep Kids Safe
Written by: Elizabeth Smith Miller, Communications Coordinator, National Safe Place Network
You might have heard of this little monster game called Pokemon Go. This game is all the rage right now and has been downloaded more than 7.5 million times (and hasn’t even become available everywhere yet!) You might be asking… “Why is NSPN talking about this?” The answer is simple… “potential.” With so much interest and emphasis on mobility, organizations have the potential to use the game to draw community members to them. When community members come to you, there’s an opportunity to share available youth and family services and resources (including your organization and the local Safe Place program.)
