Injury Free Coalition for Kids

The Injury Free Coalition for Kids is among the country's most effective injury prevention programs. We are a national program developed with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation comprised of hospital-based, community-oriented programs whose efforts are anchored in research, education and advocacy. Currently, the Coalition includes more than 42 sites located in just as many cities, each housed in the trauma center of their participating institution. It is run under the guidance of a board comprised of Coalition members and approved by the organization, operated by a set of bylaws established by the governing board.

Mission:
The Injury Free Coalition for Kids works to protect children and their families from preventable injuries through evidence-based research and proven intervention models. Through our partner sites at trauma centers, they work in communities nationwide, addressing local needs identified through regional data analysis. By bridging scientific knowledge with community-specific programming, they create safer environments where children and families can thrive and develop free from preventable harm.
