FOR EDUCATORS
As a teacher, community leader, or care provider we know you feel an obligation to protect others from poisoning injuries. We have many free resources to help you (see below). All programs and materials use evidence-informed strategies. If you don’t see something that meets your needs, please contact us.
Do you need a speaker? Are you planning a community health fair? When our schedule permits, we are happy to come to you! We can also arrange to speak to your group virtually. Contact the Education Coordinator for details.
