Child Safety

Injury prevention education is just one of the many ways Children's Hospital Los Angeles strives to keep children everywhere healthy.

Childhood Injury Prevention

The Injury Prevention Program at Children's Hospital is actively engaged, through its own work, along with its work in collaboration with injury coalitions in several actively programs designed to arm families with the information they need to keep their children injury-free.  The goal of this program is to educate families so that they can avoid accidents that are often the cause of hospital visits to our Emergency Department for children each year.

Kohl’s Safety and Injury Prevention Program

In partnership with Kohl’s Cares for Kids, the Kohl’s Safety and Injury Prevention Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles provides safety education, and equipment for children and families in local communities.  Look for program staff at health fairs and other community events where they provide safety demonstrations, share educational materials and answer parents' questions about how to keep their children safe.

Traffic Safety

Through the L.A. Street Smarts Program, our staff bring a kid-size interactive neighborhood to your school, church or community event.  This interactive "set," combined with our trained staff, help children learn how to walk, run and play safely around and near streets in urban Los Angeles.  Children are presented with activities as they walk through the child-sized city that teach them how to avoid cars backing out of driveways, watch traffic lights to know when it is safe to cross the street and even what to do if toys roll out into the street and much more.
