The Child Safety Learning Collaborative was an unprecedented opportunity for states and jurisdictions to collaborate with the aim to advance evidence-based policies, programs and practices at the state and local levels to reduce fatal and serious injuries among infants, children, and adolescents. The Learning Collaborative focused on five topic areas: Bullying Prevention, Motor Vehicle Traffic Safety (includes child passenger safety and teen driver/passenger safety), Poisoning Prevention (includes the prevention of prescription medication misuse/abuse), Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) Prevention, and Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention. The third cohort began in November 2021 and continued for 18 months, to April 2023.

Listen to some of our Cohort 3 teams reflect on the benefits of being in the CSLC. A new learning collaborative will launch later this year—stay tuned for more details.
