ThinkFirst's Mission is to prevent brain, spinal cord and other traumatic injuries through education, research and advocacy. 

Traumatic Injury is a leading cause of death and disability among children, teens and adults. The most frequent causes are vehicle crashes, violence, falls and sports. Simple actions can greatly reduce our risk for injury, such as wearing a seat belt, driving safe, sober, and without distractions, wearing bike and sports helmets and other safety precautions.
