In the United States, more children ages 1-4 die from drowning than any other cause of death. For children ages 5-14, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death. Join us for a drowning prevention seminar presented by the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health. You will learn what a drowning victim looks like, which is often contrary to what is portrayed in the movies and on television. The seminar includes a PowerPoint presentation with videos and is open to anyone interested in increasing their knowledge about this important public health concern. Parents, grandparents, and babysitters are especially encouraged to attend.
