the best social worker safety tip is to carry Silent Beacon wherever you go! Silent Beacon is essentially a panic button for social workers, allowing you to summon help at a moment’s notice, quickly and easily. Here’s how it works: if you find yourself in an emergency, simply press the easy-to-touch button on the lightweight, portable device. The device, when paired with the free Silent Beacon safety app, triggers an alert that goes out to your pre-stored contacts. These contacts can include friends, family, and even emergency personnel!
Once you trigger an alert, your contacts will receive a text, email, and/or voice message indicating that you need help. GPS technology enables first responders to immediately pinpoint your location in real-time and get to you as quickly as possible.
The Silent Beacon is affordable, too. With a price of $99, it’s the best money you can spend to ensure your safety. Plus, there are no hidden charges - like activation or cancellation fees - that you need to worry about. Just purchase the device, set up your contacts, and that’s it! Help is just a press of the button away.
Although following these tips won’t guarantee 100% social worker safety, you can decrease your odds of becoming a victim. And by carrying Silent Beacon, if an emergency arises, you’re prepared.
