Join Us in Preventing Child Injuries in Shelters

All children face hazards at home — risks of falls, drowning, poisoning, choking, and more. Each year, emergency rooms across the U.S. see more than 4 million children with injuries sustained in their homes. When families are experiencing homelessness, preventing injuries is an even greater challenge.
