 The overall goal of our project is to decrease childhood injury by altering the manner in which two Hartford neighborhoods (Frog Hollow and Blue Hills) think about and approach child safety. In order to accomplish this goal we are recruiting and organizing residents into a neighborhood based child safety coalition who then collaborate with our staff to implement injury prevention activities.
