The Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Hartford, a project of the Injury Prevention Center at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, expanded in 2007 to serve residents citywide. In 2007 the program strengthened existing community partnerships and built new relationships to enable the delivery of safety and prevention education citywide. Injury Free Hartford serves the community by providing safety and injury prevention information and activities in the following areas: pedestrian safety, bike helmet use, booster and car seats, home safety, fire safety, fall prevention, and child discipline techniques.
Our goal is to decrease childhood injury by altering the manner in which residents in City of Hartford neighborhoods think about and approach child safety.
If you represent an organization or school interested in having the Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Hartford provide any of the mentioned safety education activities, please contact us. The Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Hartford does not charge for its services, providing prevention related education to children and parents at no cost.
