Safe Communities Northumberland County, established in 2013, vision is to make
Northumberland County the safest and healthiest place to live, learn, work, and
play.  We pride ourselves on building a diverse partnership with over 50
organization working together.  We work at identifying and reducing the risks in
the following injury categories: Falls, On and Off-Road injuries, and Self-Harm
(mental illness, relationship based victimization and suicide prevention) and
Interpersonal Violence by using a comprehensive approach. Our goal is to fill
the gaps in the community that no single organization can do alone.  Our
collective response has had a significant impact on reducing the risks to
individuals across Northumberland County. Our focus has always been on working
with the community, service providers and key decision makers to identify the
gaps and solve complex problems together. 

To address the top injury categories in Northumberland by focusing on prevention
through education and community capacity building.  To address gaps in services
amongst services providers by working together.

We have developed 4 pillars that will be reflected in all our work based on our
Strategic Plan. They are as follows.

1


PARTNERING FOR BETTER OUTCOMES

Collaboration is key: activities related to collaboration, including new
inter-agency relationships resulting in new training and delivery of information
to the community and supporting agencies.

2


PREVENTING INJURY

Promotion of Injury Prevention: activities (education, training and awareness)
will focus on demonstrating and modelling of behaviours that demonstrate better
choices and promote behaviours that will foster health and save lives for all in
our community.

3

Training, Professional Development and Community Engagement: activities intended
to ensure appropriate initial & ongoing education and training to community,
professionals/ para-professionals required to better respond to the needs of our
community.  This along with ensuring our activities are low or no cost will
ensure that we address the barriers through a collaborative response.

Edibles can come in packaging that look similar to candy and unintentionally
eaten by children or others!
