The Injury Prevention Program is designed to work with parents and caregivers to reduce the risk of injury and death to children ages newborn to 18. We use many approaches for increasing public awareness, providing education, and advocating for behavioral change. Our programs are open to anyone who lives in Franklin County.
Car Seat Program
This program is designed to provide car seats, at a reduced cost, to families in need.
Car Seat Checks
This program assists families who already have car seats to install them properly. We have many “Fitting Stations” in and around Columbus where families can take their car seats to be checked.
