NIPD Year of Action Q4 update

SAVIR is partnering to promote a “Year of Action” for injury prevention, and there are so many fun and easy ways for you to get involved! The following activities are suggested by the National Injury Prevention Day website for this quarter, with full descriptions of each activity included in the Toolkit :

Elevate and Active. The goal of Quarter 4 (September 2026 – November 2026) is to show up intentionally, clearly, and publicly!

Activities that can take 5 minutes or less:

1. Use #BeInjuryFree in your posts and encourage your team members or other collaborators to add this hashtag to their posts and bio as well.
2. Use NIPD branding on your profile banner, Zoom background, or website.
3.  Schedule posts or messages to go live on or around NIPD with #BeInjuryFree.

Activities that can take 15-30 minutes:

1. Create a short video about why your team supports National Injury Prevention Day.
2. Draft a story or post – what do you want people to understand about injury prevention this year?
3. Check in with your partners and collaborators to see how you can best support each other’s efforts.

Larger projects:

1. Pitch to your local news outlet a story or op-ed, “Why <NAME> is an injury prevention hero in our community.”
2. Create a “Year in Review” post that summarizes your team’s top three lessons or successes. Increase engagement by including visuals or infographics!
