Your Partner in Protecting Children

Every year, one in four kids requires medical attention for accidental injuries, and over 9,000 families endure the heartbreaking loss of a child due to a preventable injury. These tragedies leave lifelong impacts on families and our communities.

But here’s the good news—almost 90% of these injuries can be prevented! At Safe Kids, we’re on a mission to teach families how to keep their kids safe. Through education, hands-on support, and community engagement, we’re helping parents right here in Cobb and Douglas counties create safer environments for their children.

When we protect children, we protect futures. That’s why our programs focus on real-life solutions to stop tragedies and injuries before they happen.

Building a Safer Future Together

Led by Cobb & Douglas Public Health, the Safe Kids Coalitions of Cobb and Douglas Counties have empowered families to make safety a priority for over 30 years. We envision a community where kids grow, play, and thrive in safe, injury-free environments. By uniting experts, leaders, nonprofits, and businesses, our mission remains clear—keeping children safe from preventable injuries.

We reduce childhood injuries through:

• Partnerships: Collaborating with schools and organizations to spread safety awareness.
• Advocacy: Supporting policies like car seat laws and safe playgrounds.
• Education: Hosting workshops and events for parents and caregivers.
• Safety Equipment: Providing essentials like helmets and car seats with guidance on their proper use.
