Child Safety
We strive to protect the children in our community before harm occurs by creating environments where they can grow and thrive safely. Child safety and injury prevention use these same strategies—teaching parents how to reduce risks, providing tools like car seats or safe sleep guidance, supporting safe homes and play spaces, and promoting policies that keep kids protected.
Every summer, TriCounty Health Department hosts its Safe Kids Day Bash to share safety resources and education that help keep local children safe.

Harm reduction is an evidence-based approach that supports people who use drugs by giving them practical, life-saving tools and information. This program provides overdose education, counseling, and referrals to treatment; distributes Naloxone (Narcan); and helps prevent the spread of infections like HIV and Hepatitis C through sterile supplies and accurate information. It also offers wound-care and hygiene kits and promotes a compassionate, hopeful path toward improved health and healing.

Opioid Overdose Prevention
Naloxone (Narcan) is a medication that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose and restore normal breathing in someone whose breathing has slowed or stopped due to opioids such as heroin, fentanyl, or prescription pain medications. It’s easy to use, works within minutes, and is safe — even if given to someone who is not actually experiencing an opioid overdose. Narcan is an important tool that can save lives while waiting for emergency medical help to arrive.For more information contact:
