SAVIR is once again joining forces with the Injury Free Coalition for Kids to raise awareness of the need for injury and violence prevention and empower communities to change. A new toolkit for National Injury Prevention Day (NIPD) is now available to help you plan your NIPD activities, including information about the annual NIPD Twitter chat (a great way to share your research!) and a Zoom background to help promote the day.  Please encourage your institutions to sign onto a letter. Join us in these efforts on November 18, 2023!
