PrevCon
The Safe Kids Worldwide Childhood Injury Prevention Convention (PrevCon) is one of the largest gatherings of safety professionals in the world dedicated solely to the field of childhood injury prevention. It brings together leading experts, advocates, academics, and partners to share best practices and experiences with the aim of increasing our collective impact.
At Safe Kids, we focus on Equity in Child Safety. A commitment to equity is critical to achieving our mission to keep kids safe from preventable injuries. At PrevCon 2023 we will continue exploring strategies to identify and engage with communities at increased risk and those who have been historically underserved. Education and meeting parents where they are is important to the mission but not enough. We must also focus on systems that impact the families we serve.
