Trauma Burn Center offers free ‘Straight Talk’ program for children, families

Do you know or have you treated a child or teen who has played with, experimented with or misused fire in some way (e.g., lighters, matches, fireworks, bottle bombs, Works bombs, accelerants, aerosol sprays, etc.)?

Or a youth who has observed others playing with fire and is at risk for peer-pressure experimentation?

Research shows that without specialized educational intervention, these risky behaviors are very likely to continue.

The Trauma Burn Center offers the nationally acclaimed “Straight Talk” program for free. Straight Talk is a supportive, non-punitive educational program for youth and their families that promotes good decision-making to keep families and communities safe.

Registration required: Please call 734-232-3814 or email Kristy Brown at kribro@med.umich.edu ASAP to reserve your spot for the free Straight Talk program offered on Tuesday, June 18.
