Safe Sleep Summit
Safe Sleep Summit
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most joyful moments. Keeping your little one safe while they sleep is key to their health and well-being. That’s why we offer the Safe Sleep Summit, a special event designed to celebrate and support parents and moms-to-be who are committed to safe sleep practices.
To attend the Safe Sleep Summit, participants must first complete a Safe Sleep Education Workshop. This interactive workshop provides essential training on how to create a safe sleep environment for your baby. Upon completion, attendees will receive a certificate that is required for participation in the Summit.
Pre-registration is required, and all attendees must be verified prior to attending either the workshop or the Summit.
Each fall, we honor families who complete the program at the Safe Sleep Summit. This uplifting event includes the distribution of essential baby gifts for eligible families.
What You’ll Learn:
-
How to set up a safe sleep space
-
The ABCs of Safe Sleep: Baby sleeps Alone, on their Back, in a Crib
