ThinkFirst Program

ThinkFirst is an injury prevention program for grades K-12, community groups, scout troops, and health fairs. It is taught by a physical or occupational therapist from Gaylord Hospital and addresses injury prevention in age-specific activities, such as bicycle safety for elementary students and drinking and driving for high school students. It involves demonstrations, videos, survivors who talk about life-altering injury, and Q & A sessions. ThinkFirst can be done in a variety of settings. Sessions last 45-90 minutes but their impact can last a lifetime. ThinkFirst is sponsored in conjunction with the National Spinal Cord Injury Association, Connecticut Chapter.
