Empowering Parents Through Our Injury Prevention Program
Our Injury Prevention Program, anchored by the Child Passenger Safety Program, empowers parents to keep their children safe as they grow and explore. We offer car seat checks, installations, and replacements based on resource availability. Each seat check is an educational opportunity for parents or caregivers, helping to reduce car seat misuse and promote safe practices for children and caregivers in cars. Our staff is fully trained and certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians, and these services are available by appointment.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call (859) 259-1974 ext. 232.
Can You Help?
We are proud to offer emergency financial assistance to qualifying families with children under five years old through our Crisis Fund, in partnership with Independence Bank. This fund helps prevent and alleviate emergencies like evictions and utility service disconnections by providing swift financial support. As part of the program, clients work with our staff to establish short-term goals that stabilize their situation and pave the way to future self-sufficiency.
