The Safe States Alliance and the South to Southwest Injury Prevention Network present an inspiring webinar about why the work we do in injury and violence prevention is important, relevant, and exciting. Whether you are new to the field or a seasoned veteran, this is a great opportunity to find inspiration and motivation for your work.
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, provides an in-depth overview of 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.
