Capital Area Safe Kids Coalition (CASKC)
 The Capital Area SAFE KIDS Coalition is one of more than 300 SAFE KIDS Coalitions throughout the United States. CASKC is dedicated to reducing unintentional injury to children in the Greater Lansing Area by implementing programs and policies that are based on the needs of our community.
The Coalition's strength is drawn from the diversity of its membership. The coalition is made up of individuals who represent public, private, and voluntary organizations including their community ties to churches, schools, and associations. Our diverse membership enables us to implement and deliver programs that address the real needs of the Greater Lansing children and families.
The National SAFE KIDS Campaign was founded in 1987 to reduce unintentional injury. It works through a network of more than 300 state and local coalitions in all 50 states. It is devoted to teaching parents and caregivers how to keep kids safe. The Campaign has focused on the following risk areas: motor vehicle crashes, bicycle-related injuries, residential fires and scalded burns, pedestrian safety, falls, drowning, poisoning, choking, and unintentional firearms injuries.

Programs in our community are directed to raise awareness among adults, especially parents and caregivers that injuries are the leading health threat facing children today and that they are not random accidents but are preventable through behavioral environmental and legislative interventions. Events have included: Baby Day at Sparrow, Buckle Up Car Seat Checks and Safety Day Events.
If you are interested in supporting any of the excellent programs annually-sponsored or would be interested in becoming a member of the CASKC, please call Trauma Services at 517.364.2616.
