Injury & Violence
Injury and violence prevention focuses on reducing harm caused by accidents and intentional acts, such as falls, car crashes, domestic violence, gun violence, and child abuse. These incidents can lead to physical trauma, disability, mental health issues, and even death. Addressing injury and violence involves education, safe environments, community programs, policy changes, and access to support services for those affected. By promoting safety at home, in schools, workplaces, and public spaces, communities can protect individuals and improve overall public health and well-being.
