Injury Free Coalition for Kids

I will introduce National Injury Prevention Day at the 17th Annual PRevention of Overdoses and Treatment Errors in Children Taskforce (PROTECT) Initiative Meeting. This meeting convenes national leaders from industry, academia, professional organizations, and health agencies to share actions, advice and next steps for preventing unintentional overdoses of over-the-counter and prescription medications in children. #MedicationSafety #overdoses #Injuryprevention #BeinjuryFree.

Project Ujima’s Dr. Michael Levas joined WPR’s “Wisconsin Today” to discuss their recent grant from the Everytown Community Safety Fund and how his team works to interrupt the cycle of violence in Milwaukee.

Did you know? Injuries are the leading cause of death and hospitalization for all people 1-44 years old. Since we all enjoyed looking at maps light up red or blue yesterday, I wanted to share our map of #GREEN. As of today, the National Injury Prevention Day (NIPD) map of activities shows 37 cities shining a green light and 47 injury prevention education events. But we want to turn the whole USA map #GREEN. Submit your event and bring awareness to the injury problem in your state, city, or community. Bring hope, happiness and #BeinjuryFree. https://lnkd.in/eE_vBTV7
