Play It Safe

As a Play it Safe Customer, we at The Women’s Center’s Play it Safe! Store are making the Play it Safe! movies available to your parents for FREE for the month of April. Since April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and parents are home with their children for the most part, it seems the perfect time to give parents the tools they need to start and continue the conversation around personal safety. A Parent Guide is available to download with the free rental.

Here how it works:

If you are interested, go to playitsafe.org, enter through the Parent Portal and click on Movies. Choose the movies you want. When you do that, you will have to register and then your email will need to be verified. Once you verify, create your password. You’ll be directed to pay. Enter this PROMO CODE: APRILFREE
