Mental Health Resources

Access to mental health resources and strong social connections are important for the prevention of violence and intentional harm. It is also important to address the 'how' of suicide attempts or self harm, which means preventing access to lethal means.

Older Adult Injury Resources

Childhood Injury Prevention

With schools closed or on limited schedules, children are at home more than ever. Busy, overstressed parents are juggling working from home with childcare, which means less supervision, which is the most effective way to prevent childhood injury. The stress of all the competing responsibilities also can make some parents more prone to unhealthy discipline strategies. Here are resources to combat this dilemma.

  • Preventing Child Abuse During a Pandemic NC Guide
