Education
The Office of Child Fatality Review provides education and awareness to local communities on the incidence and prevalence of child deaths, as well as prevention methods that can save lives. Educational forums include presentations and exhibits at conferences, conventions, and community events. Please refer to the calendar below to find an event which is sponsored, supported, or attended by CFR staff.
CFR committees are encouraged to attend these events for professional development. These educational events are not intended to replace the annual training provided explicitly for CFR committees. Please refer to our Training page for that information.
