May is #TraumaAwarenessMonth.
As part of the Stepping Strong Center’s ongoing #TraumaAwarenessTuesday series, this week we are featuring The Cost of Traumatic Injury.
Every year, the U.S. faces substantial, yet avoidable, costs associated with injury-related deaths (both unintentional and violence-related). Identifying the cost of traumatic injury is essential in developing policies and programs that promote healthy lifestyles through cost-effective interventions. To read more from the @cdcgov about the cost of traumatic injury, use this link https://www.cdc.gov/injury/features/health-econ-cost-of-injury/index.html.
The Stepping Strong Center is committed to building healthier and safer communities. We provide free injury prevention training sessions virtually, and in our community, to ensure that life-saving education is accessible. To learn more about what we offer, click the link in our bio.

It’s hard to believe that Marathon Monday was already one month ago.
Thank you for supporting the Stepping Strong Center as we, and the entire city of Boston, marked the 10-year anniversary of the marathon bombing tragedy.
At our marathon pep rally this year, we were honored to have a special guest speaker — 2014 Boston Marathon winner, Meb Keflezighi (@runmeb). An Olympic medalist, Meb has an inspiring story that encourages us all to keep moving forward. Now in retirement, Meb supports the next generation in making healthy lifestyle choices. Since 2010, the MEB Foundation’s mission “is to be a collaborator and leader in the areas of youth health, education, and fitness.”
Thank you, Meb, for your commitment to encouraging healthy behaviors. We are grateful for your support.

May is #TraumaAwarenessMonth.
