The dedicated staff also utilize the Injury Free Miami Mobile unit, a model injury prevention program for hands-on education regarding home safety, Poison Safety, and water safety. A broad menu of additional educational options is available, based on American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations, as well as further customized training based on the request of the provider. The program occurs throughout the year and is available especially for those in high-risk and vulnerable areas in the county.

Research demonstrates that hands-on training of child safety practices and access to affordable safety items significantly increases parent/caregiver knowledge and safety practices of these devices.
