Community Engagement | Baby 1st Network

Engages communities in initiatives to reduce sleep-related infant deaths and support their efforts with information, training and funding. By empowering communities with the tools and information they need, it is our hope that more babies will reach their 1st birthdays. Priorities include holding community forums in areas with the highest infant mortality rates and delivering current, research-based information on infant safe sleep practices. Also offers support and high-quality training to community-based organizations that connect directly with parents, grandparents and others who need to understand the importance of infant safe sleep practices. Provides mini-grant program funding to neighborhood and community groups for outreach projects to promote infant safe sleep practices and increased public awareness regarding the impact of sleep-related infant deaths, and ways to reduce these incidences.
