Child Injury Prevention Center

The mission of the Child Injury Prevention Center is to provide a free resource of information and tips to parents, child care providers, teachers, camp counselors, babysitters, extended family members, neighbors, and all others to inform and empower people to act in the best interest of children. Knowledge, common sense, attentiveness, and patience can all go a long way to preventing injuries to children. While it is somewhat unrealistic to prevent all injuries from taking place, all necessary, reasonable, and available safety precautions should be taken to protect children. If the steps and tips followed in the articles posted in the Child Injury Prevention Center are followed, many serious personal injuries and deaths can be avoided. As so aptly noted by Nelson Mandela, "There can be no keener elevation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."

Furthermore, over 9 million children in this age range are treated for personal injuries in emergency rooms each year.
