These toolkits were created by Prevent Child Injury and other partners, each addressing a different child safety topic. Each toolkit is released to support a week-long campaign to raise awareness of the issue and provide parents and caregivers with clear, concise messaging about preventing that type of injury. After the campaign week, toolkits remain available for use in your outreach efforts.

Learn more about how Prevent Child Injury creates campaigns and tips for using the toolkits.
