Sports Injury Prevention

A grant from Safe Kids Worldwide supported by Johnson and Johnson has made it possible for a statewide pilot program to provide clinics for Athletic Trainers enabling them to offer presentations to local parents, coaches and athletes on concussion and sports injury prevention.

Walk This Way

Each year SKV receives a Walk This Way minigrant from Safe K2ds Worldwide to teach safe behavior to motorists and child pedestrians and create safer, more walkable communities. Efforts have included participating in Walk this Way to School Day and Halloween activities.

Fire Safety Education

Fire kills people of all ages, but those under age 5 are particularly vulnerable. Fires and burns are one of the leading causes of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 14 and under.

• A less acute perception of danger, less control over their environment and a limited ability to react promptly and properly to a fire contribute to this excess risk

Fire Safety Education

• Provides leadership, support and resources to communities and organizations statewide
• Educates families about fire prevention and safety including; smoke detectors, escape plans, and safe cooking practices.
• Provides assistance to programs that distribute free or low-cost safety devices to families.
• Encourages fire safety related laws and ordinances.
