Safety Training Sessions This Month – Essential Resources for Barry County Families

Barry County Michigan Safety Training

Youth safety gets attention with the YMCA of Barry County's Hunter Education Traditional Course on January 10, 2026. This in-person session educates young hunters on firearm safety, ethics, and winter tracking, aligning with Barry's outdoor recreation scene. Details at ymcaofbarrycounty.org—it's a family-friendly way to promote responsible enjoyment of spots like Middleville State Game Area.

Home safety tips from BEDHD include carbon monoxide detector checks and space heater guidelines, shared via their media room at barryeatonhealth.org/media-room. With recent snow events, they recommend emergency kits with flashlights and blankets.

These sessions build resilience in our median-age 42 community, where rural roads can isolate during storms. Participating fosters connections—many include Q&A with experts from the Barry-Eaton Health Department.
