Welcome to the

ThinkFirst Foundation

Leading Injury Prevention Through Education, Research and Policy

 

Each year, an estimated 1.7 million persons in the United States sustain a brain injury, and 12,000 - 20,000 sustain a spinal cord injury. In fact, injury is the leading cause of death among children and teens. The most frequent causes of these injuries are motor vehicle crashes, violence, falls, sports and recreation. The good news is that most injuries are preventable! The ThinkFirst National Injury Prevention Foundation's award-winning, evidence-based programs are aimed at helping people learn to reduce their risk for injury.

Visit our website often to learn about ThinkFirst events, ThinkFirst Chapter locations for scheduling school programs, and ordering educational products. We also invite you to be a partner in prevention by supporting ThinkFirst events and contributing through honorary or memorial donations. Working together, we can play a significant role in helping kids learn to "ThinkFirst!" Learn more . . .
