The Home Safety Workshop for Professionals who Support Families

September 20, 2023 @ 1:00 pm. - 4:30 pm.

Part One – Breaking Down Childhood Injury by Age and Stage.
Part Two – Harm Reduction for Home-Based Injuries, (starting at 55:06).
Part Three – Engaging Families in Home Safety, (starting at 1:34:20).

Additional resources to accompany the Home Safety Workshop:

Injuries are the leading cause of childhood death and disability in Canada, and most of these injuries occur in the home. Fortunately, research shows that home safety support from a trusted professional can empower families to build safe spaces for their children and reduce the risk of a life-altering injury.

The Home Safety Workshop combines three professional development workshops. These workshops focus on home safety and injury prevention for children ages 0-5 years and aim to help professionals:

  • Understand injury risks in the home and identify opportunities to improve safety
  • Use harm reduction to support families living in a variety of situations
  • Educate families on child safety using simple and engaging strategies
