Guide and Manual, 2017
The Child Injury Prevention Programming and Action Guide provides information about the importance of injury prevention, why children are more at risk of injury, and how to develop and implement an injury prevention strategy. This resource was developed for community-based programs to use in their work with families to prevent child injury, but it will be of interest to anyone who works with caregivers and children.
