Summer is an exciting season for families, often bringing vacations, barbecues, picnics, and time away from work and school. Yet summer is also known as “trauma season” among health professionals in the United States because unintentional injuries and deaths increase dramatically among children. Safe Kids Month is a national celebration dedicated to inspiring parents to take simple steps that help keep their kids safe as they get ready for summer.
The Florida Department of Health in Volusia County leads the Safe Kids Coalition for Volusia and Flagler Counties, and we want to celebrate Safe Kids Month by giving five tips in five important areas (bike safety, passenger safety, home safety, water safety, and sleep safety). We call it them our "High Fives." Thank you, and stay safe!
