Child Injury Prevention

This program is funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Health utilizing federal funds from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (93.991).
The Child Injury Prevention program at the Tuscarawas County Health Department is dedicated to reducing child injuries related to traffic safety and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

In the coming years, TCHD will work closely with community partners and our local schools to provide education, free resources, and fun events for both youth and adults.

The Tuscarawas County Health Department has formed a new Injury Prevention  which meets quarterly to discuss projects and upcoming events that the Child Injury Prevention and Older Adult Falls programs are working on.
