The Dell Children's Injury Prevention team is excited to be back in the classroom for our Child Passenger Safety Technician certification course! We have a diverse class of 11 participants including first responders, nurses, techs, and community health workers. It's always a treat to have Johnny Humphreys on the instructor team, especially since he joined us on his "first day of his second retirement!"

Looking forward to learning with this group on day 2 of the course next week!

Our team invested in some team building time today as we begin to develop a new strategic plan for DCMC Injury Prevention. This escape room only has a 17% completion rate so it’s pretty awesome that our team made it out alive with five minutes to spare.

We’re so thankful for our partners at Dell Children’s Hospital Injury Prevention Team and their KidsInCarsDCMC program!
Not only do they help us in providing car seats to children entering foster care, they provide the life-saving training to our staff and volunteers to make it possible for us to have certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians on site for the families we serve- so we can both equip AND educate 🙌🏼🎉
