Safety. Awareness. Education.

Welcome to the S.A.V.E.S Project!

Special Needs, Autism, Vulnerable Person, Elderly, Safety is an initiative built on a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves to feel safe during moments of crisis or confusion. We work to build better communication between first responders, the community and individuals living with cognitive or developmental challenges such as autism, dementia, or traumatic brain injuries.

Whether it's a lost child with autism or an elderly adult in the early stages of Alzheimer's our goal is to make sure first responders have the tools and information they need before an encounter so every interaction can be safer, calmer and more compassionate.
