Our Programs
We are saving lives together by confronting our community’s top safety concerns
Traffic Safety
Our program engages partners, including members of the Dane County Traffic Safety Commission, to improve road safety and reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
Suicide Prevention
Our program supports people who have attempted suicide, those who experience thoughts of suicide, and those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
Falls Free
Our programs help older adults live the lives we all want to lead as we age—staying independent, healthy, falls free and able to move with confidence
Drug Harm Reduction & Recovery
Our program ensures anyone who has been impacted by substance use experiences has a compassionate network for support, resources, and harm reduction tools.
