Halloween is full of fun and surprises, but it’s also important to stay sharp. Pay attention to your surroundings and trust your instincts 👻

• If something feels off, don’t ignore it - walk away or find someone you trust.
• Stick with friends, especially in crowded areas or unfamiliar places.
• Avoid accepting rides, drinks, or invitations from strangers.
• Keep your phone charged and accessible so you can call or message someone if needed.

Have fun, dress up, and stay safe - your gut is a powerful guide 🧡

Have fun this spooky season, but don’t do it alone. Sticking with your friends helps keep everyone safe. Make sure you:
• Arrive together and leave together when you can.
• Check in on each other if someone seems unwell, upset, or too intoxicated.
• Share your location with a trusted friend if you split up.
• Have a group chat or meet-up spot in case you get separated.

is better (and safer) when you’ve got your friends watching your back 🎃🧡
