In 2018, the Virginia Department of Health Injury and Violence Prevention Program developed Project Patience, an injury prevention education toolkit and technical assistance initiative, designed to equip those professionals teaching injury and violence prevention to newborn caregivers and families with the knowledge and resources to help families reduce childhood related injuries.
Maternity hospitals and community programs are provided technical assistance to advance their childhood injury and violence prevention education programs in their community.
