Are you looking for that spark to start your new year? Are you ready to be inspired?

Join the South to Southwest (S2SW) Injury Prevention Network and the Safe States Alliance for an inspiring first-of-the year presentation about why the work we do in injury and violence prevention is important, relevant, and exciting. This is a great opportunity to find inspiration and motivation for your work in 2016.

Our speaker, Dr. David Hemenway, Professor of Health Policy at the Harvard School of Public Health, and author of the book, While We Were Sleeping: Success Stories in Injury and Violence Prevention, will outline how the public health science behind injury prevention has enabled our field to accomplish great things in the past, and help us understand the possibilities for the future. This important presentation will help ground your work in a broader context, and help you understand the wider field of injury prevention.
