MEDICINE SAFETY AND YOUTH SPORTS SAFETY PROGRAMS
Our medication safety program provides research and practical tools and tips for parents about the safe storage and safe dosing of medicine. We also work to prevent youth sports injuries by educating players, coaches and parents about safe sports training.
At the local level, Safe Kids coalitions across the country connect parents and caregivers to educational workshops and tools to help them protect kids around medicine. Our coalitions also offer sports clinics for parents, coaches and kids to teach them safe and healthy training habits that can help young athletes stay in the game.
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. has a long history of supporting programs that help children and families live healthier lives. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc.’s meaningful action to protect kids around medicine and while playing sports makes it a leader in corporate social responsibility.
