Peoplesavers is a 4-level program developed by the Canadian Red Cross to teach safety awareness and first aid skills to elementary school-aged children.

Lessons taught are supported by colouring workbooks for each level. Participants follow the PeopleSavers for each level through a variety of everyday situations that are potentially dangerous and they learn to Check for Safety, Call for Help, and care for an Injured Person. The PeopleSavers mascot is always there to reinforce the safety message: "Prepare! Stay Safe! Survive!"
