ABOUT US | CONTACT US

Injuries are the leading killer of our children. Traffic injuries. Burns. Drownings. Falls. Chokings. Unintentional shootings. And poisonings. They cause more children’s deaths each year than diseases, kidnapping, and drugs combined. More than 6,700 a year, in fact. And they disable another 50,000. 

We call them accidents, but they’re not, because they can be predicted – and prevented. It doesn’t cost a lot or take much time, either. Just the attention and effort of parents and other caregivers. And that’s where we come in. We’re Connecticut SAFE KIDS, and our mission is to reduce preventable injuries to children.

Connecticut SAFE KIDS mission is to reduce preventable injuries to children. Our efforts include:

• Grassroots Community Activities
• Advocacy for Statewide Safety Laws
• Public Awareness Campaigns
• Encouraging the use of safety supplies, such as low-cost bicycle helmets, car seats, smoke detectors, etc.

Providing educational materials and training, such as:

Safety Brochures
Safety Color Checks
Safe Toys/Product Information
Air Bag Safety Information
Home Safety Information
