The focus of the Injury, Suicide and Violence Prevention Unit of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is reducing intentional and unintentional injuries in Colorado. Epidemiologic data are used to guide development of community and statewide initiatives.
The Injury, Suicide and Violence Prevention Unit promotes the following programs:
- The Colorado Children’s Trust Fund supports the primary prevention of child abuse and neglect in Colorado through grant-making and technical assistance to local agencies who work directly with families and children.
- The Family Resource Centers program at CDPHE connects Colorado’s family resource centers with Federal funding related to child abuse prevention and related family support activities.
- The Colorado Child Fatality Prevention System
identifies preventable childhood deaths and promotes
strategies and interventions to reduce the incidence of
child morbidity and mortality in Colorado. The system
conducts a review of child death circumstances with a
multidisciplinary team of professionals and makes
recommendations for multi-level interventions based on
best practice strategies.
-
The Sexual Violence Prevention Program works with Colorado communities to: Develop and implement effective sexual violence prevention programs; Understand the relationships among sexual violence and other forms of youth violence, including dating violence, suicide, child abuse and bullying, and; Collect and analyze data to increase our understanding of sexual violence in Colorado.
-
The Injury Prevention Program focuses on preventing
unintentional injuries in Colorado, such as those
associated with motor vehicle crashes, falls, and
unintentional poisoning. Epidemiologic data are used to
guide development of community and statewide
interventions.
-
The Office of Suicide Prevention serves as the lead entity for statewide suicide prevention and intervention efforts, collaborating with Colorado communities to reduce the number of suicide deaths and attempts in the state. Projects include a teen suicide prevention initiative entitled Project Safety Net; funding to ten community grantees to implement suicide prevention efforts at the local level; support for the 1.800.273.TALK crisis hotline; and, partnering with the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado and other non-profit suicide prevention organizations throughout Colorado.
-
The Youth Violence Prevention enhances Colorado’s
capacity to address child and adolescent health through
violence prevention. A Violence Prevention Advisory
Group (VPAG), consisting of nationally known violence
prevention experts, state agency leaders, and members of
private and nonprofit prevention groups, has been
created to work with the CDPHE on the development of a
state needs and resources assessment, followed by the
construction of a state-wide strategic plan.
