Oakland County Veterans Resource Fair had assistance from Pioneering Technology Corp. via MI Prevention and their representative Stan Barnes were just one of the volunteers today who were onsite to serve over 430 Veterans and their families. Will Boake, Kevin Callahan, Reid Johnston and John Bergsma were there in spirit. The SmartBurner and Smart-Micro technology and information was a huge hit! CRR, Community Risk Reduction, is in full bloom. Not a single fire has started on a cooktop using SmartBurner’s technology. Cooking is the leading cause of all household fires, the leading cause of fire-related injury, and the second leading cause of fire-related death. SmartBurner helps save people and property by helping to prevent these fires from starting in the first place. SmartBurner is unlike other conventional fire prevention products in that it does not wait for a fire to start before taking action. Instead, SmartBurner prevents cooking fires from starting without the user even knowing they were at risk of a fire in the first place. Here are a few of the other resources that were present at the Veterans Resource Fair: *Oakland County Veterans’ Services—Providing information and claims assistance regarding Veteran benefits and giving away Meijer vouchers—to be eligible you must be a Veteran and Oakland County resident, and you must present a copy of your DD214 *Oakland County Michigan Works!—Providing Veterans and their families with career planning, training programs, job search resources and the opportunity to meet with an employment specialist *Oakland County Neighborhood & Housing Development—Helping residents with housing counseling *Oakland County Parks —Giving out free annual vehicle permits. Learn more here: tinyurl.com/p7awv8pk *Detroit VA Healthcare System—Offering registration help and exams for non enrolled Veterans *Oakland Community Health Network—Addressing any behavioral health issues and concerns, including behavioral health needs for children *VA Suicide Prevention—Providing free gun locks *Gary Burnstein Community Health Clinic—Scheduling free dental appointments *Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency—Printing DD214’s on site *Ride SMART—Providing information on their Veteran transportation program. MI Prevention is hoping to secure additional funding opportunities to offer SmartBurrner Technology and Resources to more of our Veterans, seniors and others who fit certain criteria.

🚪💫The Curious Secret Behind Why There's Always Someone There When Mum Opens the Door... Every time Mum goes to the door, Someone's there, just like before. How she knows, I can't see why, When I try, there's no-one by. Feels like magic, every day, Mum or the door, in a special way. Neighbours, postmen, friends so near, Mum always smiles, full of cheer. I try too, but when I peek, No one's there, just our cat, Sleek. Today I asked, feeling small, "Why doesn't the door work for me at all?" She smiled and signed, "It's the bell, my dear, It rings, but you can't hear." Then I knew, and it felt clear, It's not magic, just a sound I can't hear. ✒️We crafted this poem from a true story shared by a deaf individual, highlighting how the mystery of perception and the unknown can make children feel isolated. 📃This Child Safety Week, let's make sure we're not just teaching children about emergencies and safety measures, but also explaining why these things matter. 💡Take, for example, alerting systems like the Bellman Visit System. It uses colours, lights and vibrations to send simple alerts, helping children understand what's happening around them. 💪By showing them the "whys" behind everyday routines, we're not just keeping them safe but also empowering them to feel more confident as they go about their day. #ChildSafetyWeek #Bellman #Accessibility #Deaf #Hoh

As readers have often noted while putting CHEATING DEATH into practice, prioritizing family members-- especially during challenging times-- is paramount to any daily "task" that may previously have topped the "list". https://lnkd.in/gSBayei Today, it's my turn to align those family-focused principles in my own life. The "out of office" message is on. #principlecenteredlife #familyfirst #northstar #cheatingdeath

Hello, responsible guardians! As our kids head back to school, let's reinforce the importance of recognising and responding to stranger danger: Trusted Adults: Explain who "trusted adults" are—people they can turn to if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Saying "No": Teach them to confidently say "no" to any interaction or situation that doesn't feel right. Personal Space: Help them understand the concept of personal space and that they shouldn't allow anyone to invade it. Secrets vs. Surprises: Differentiate between good secrets (like surprise gifts) and bad secrets that someone asks them to keep. Role-Playing: Practice scenarios where they might encounter strangers and how to respond. By arming them with knowledge, we empower our children to stay safe and make informed choices. 👧👦 Get in touch ➡️ www.prohas.co.uk ➡️ www.safetyfortrades.co.uk #HealthAndSafety #HealthAndSafetyJobs #HealthAndSafetyFirst #HealthAndSafetyAtWork #HealthAndSafetyConsultancy #Tradesman #Tradeswomen #TradesPeople #Prohas #Grimsby #Lincolnshire #Gainsborough #Scunthorpe #ELearning

🚓 🚒 🚑 🔥 First Responders Do you ever wonder what it is like when the ones you love go to work, and you know they may be in harm's way? I am mainly thinking about our civil servants who rush into a scene when most of us are running away. These brave men and women, including firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians, play a pivotal role in maintaining the safety and well-being of our communities. It's all too easy to take them for granted. It is easy to overlook the sacrifices these people make for us as we go about our daily lives. They work long and unpredictable hours, putting themselves at risk to protect us from emergencies, accidents, natural disasters, and acts of violence. They witness traumatic events that most of us can’t and don’t want to imagine, and they do so with unwavering commitment and dedication. They are the reassuring voices on the other end of the line, the steady hands administering life-saving care and confronting dangerous circumstances to ensure our safety. They are the ones who provide comfort and support during our most vulnerable moments. It's incredibly easy to take their presence and actions for granted, assuming that help will always be there when we need it. We may not fully appreciate their sacrifices, the physical and emotional toll their work takes on them, and the daily challenges they face. First responders also face the burden of making split-second decisions that can have life-altering consequences. Their actions can mean the difference between life and death, and they carry the weight of that responsibility on their shoulders. It's essential to recognize that they, too, are human beings with families, dreams, and fears. Our first responders are the backbone of our society, and we must never forget the sacrifices they make for our safety. What is it like for their spouse and children? Do they rest easy like I do when they hear sirens, or do they worry their loved one is on a route to be in harm's way? How do you show your appreciation for these wonderful servants? Watch for the blind spots.     #mondaymood #mondaythoughts #mondaymotivation #betterme #bettereveryday #blindspots #firstresponders #police #firefighterlife #fireman #policeman #policelife #betterme #toastmasters #clearlakeareachamber #successcoach #successmindset #counseling #selfimprovement #mindsetmatters #bekind #relationshipadvice #relationshipcoach #jointheride #leadershipcoaching

"You can be your true self here. You don't have to have a personality for work and a personality for home." If we're being honest... It doesn't always feel like this statement is real. It can often feel like we have to put on a different persona when we step into the office. We worry about conforming to expectations, fitting into molds and can often lose our individuality in the process. Let's break free from this! In a meeting with one of my teams last week, the above sentiment was shared by someone who has been with Raising Cane's for 5+ years. The statement was so impactful to me! At Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, we want you to be yourself here. We want you to bring your unique perspectives, experiences and ideas to the table. The differences that we all have are what make us strong and valuable assets to a team and organization. If you are looking for a place you can call home where you can be yourself, check out the opportunities we have at https://lnkd.in/g5e5xgU9 We want to meet you! #raisingcanes #werehiring #imhiring #chickenfingers #beyourself #recruiting #jobs #rockstarrecruiting

Ladies, always carry a blade and learn how to “make someone let you go” at WOFT! Violence and crime are on the rise, and we must be proactive in protecting our families. Bring your family to WOFT to learn how to be a Hard Target! A terrifying incident was caught on security camera in Queens, NY - an attempted k*dn*pping of a young girl by a predator. Thanks to her mother's quick action and bravery, this girl's life was saved. It all happened so fast - what if the mother had not been home or nearby to hear the struggle? It's a stark reminder that danger can lurk outside your home or around the corner. The family dog didn't help, as most dogs are not physically able or even trained to protect children in these situations. Grace, Luck, and timing were crucial in saving this girl. But the bigger question remains—how long had this predator been watching, waiting for the right moment to strike? This serves as a wake-up call for parents to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings. The world we live in today vastly differs from the one we grew up in, and we must adapt our parenting to ensure our children's safety. That's why it's essential to seek out safety scenario instructors like @w.o.f.t. Learn how to keep your family safe in dangerous situations and, more importantly, teach your loved ones to be "hard targets." Don't wait until a situation happens to your family. Visit WOFT outside Orlando, Florida, for Real-Life Scenario Safety and Instruction. All families are welcome, and no previous training is required.
