Kristi House is proud to offer MBF Child Safety Matters™ – a comprehensive, research-based, prevention education program that educates and empowers children and adults with information and strategies to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to bullying, cyberbullying, all types of abuse, online abuse, and other digital dangers. We are pleased to have the support of Florida Blue Foundation to provide Child Safety Matters to local elementary and middle school students in Miami-Dade County.
