” Child passenger safety is about preventing injury or worse in the event of a motor vehicle crash. For many parents, providing proper child restraint systems for their children is simply a matter of education and having the right equipment.“

Elder Fall Prevention
Keeping Elders Safe
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for seniors. The Kaw Nation Fall Prevention Program targets falls risk behaviors and home hazards for older adults at high risk for falling. The elements of the intervention include a comprehensive assessment by our program coordinator. Needed resources are then provided.
