To accommodate the realities of our current landscape, the Safer California conference has gone virtual this year, AND the early registration pricing of $50 has been extended until October 6, 2020.
The Safer California conference is intended to increase success and action at the local community level across California, and to help end unintentional injury as the leading cause of death and hospitalization for children and youth through age 19.
A priority action item from the CA Unintentional Injury Prevention Strategic Plan Project, this conference is relevant to anyone working on children and youth unintentional injury prevention at the local and state level in California.
