Dear Partners,
November is a busy month, with the holiday season quickly approaching. National Injury Prevention Day takes place on November 18th, and it is a great reminder to remain aware of child safety as holiday preparations are underway. National Injury Prevention Day raises awareness of the importance of injury prevention and how everyone can play a role. Injury Free Coalition for Kids is hosting a kick-off webinar on November 17th from 10:00AM-11:00AM ET featuring Benjamin Hoffman, president-elect of the American Academy of Pediatrics. They will also be hosting a live Injury Prevention Day Twitter chat on November 17th at 1:00PM ET.
Unintentional injuries remain the leading cause of death for infants, children, and adolescents. During the holiday season, there is a risk of child injuries involving passenger safety, fire and burn safety, and poisoning. Below are recent CSN resources on these child injury topics that can help guide prevention efforts.
Resources from our CSN-A partners are highlighted in purple.
Please widely share these resources with your networks.
Kindly,
Jennifer Leonardo
