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.
