Advocacy

Small groups of people can do amazing things. These grassroots efforts have done much for the shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT) community. Below are a few examples of awareness efforts that any group can accomplish. Contact us via the Contact Us section if you:

• Have personal contacts in your local hospital who we can talk with to train staff to distribute prevention materials in post partum and pediatric units.
• Want to hold a Parent Education Group at your local child care providers that care for infants and young children to offer shaken baby training.
• Have personal contacts in your local junior high and high schools and would be willing to educate students on the dangers of shaking a child in the human development and child care classes.
• Have personal contacts in your local news outlets and can use Never Shake A Baby Arizona to do human interest stories on a case and to provide general information on shaken baby syndrome to increase public awareness.
• Need Never Shake A Baby Arizona materials to use to encourage your local officials to devote funding to prevention programs on shaken baby syndrome and provide services to families.
