Prevention campaign "It can happen to you..."
AESLEME, for the last 22 years, has been carrying out the accident prevention campaign called “It Can Happen to You” in schools, institutes, universities, militaries and policemen academies of Spain “It Can Happen to You” has reached near 3.000.000 children and young people.
The conference has been carried out by a team of professionals formed by a doctor and a person with a spinal cord injury due to an accident. They impart the conference, of approximately two hours, with an interesting power point presentation with videos and is adapted to different ages (from 12-25 years old).
The structure of the conference is as follows:
• Primary Prevention: Causes that produce accidents: speed, alcohol and drugs, distractions, fatigue, and so on as well as forms of avoiding (safety belt, helmet, rest head, children chair… (road safety).
• Secondary Prevention: What to do when an accident occurs and what not to do in order to avoid secondary injuries.(PAS).
• Tertiary Prevention: Consequences of accidents: physical, psychological and social problems of serious injuries in the spinal cord and brain.
• Dialogue: In this part the students ask questions and ask for more information.
We adapt “It can Happen to you" to the university population. Our aim is that they evaluate, for their own, if it is worth taking certain risks, to tenor of the consequences. Therefore, one leads them to being aware of the risks, from the testimony of someone who already has suffered an irreversible injury in an accident.
