Dear Colleague:

You are invited to participate in a live, online professional development
session entitled, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: Risk Reduction, Safe Sleep
Guidelines and the Cribs for Kids® Campaign to be held on Tuesday, March 22,
2011 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The presenters will be Judith Bannon, Executive Director of S.I.D.S. of
Pennsylvania and founder of The Cribs for Kids Campaign and Eileen Carlins,
MSW, LSW, Director of Support and Education of S.I.D.S. of Pennsylvania.

Session Description:
Participants will learn the importance of educators in reducing the risk of
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and accidental infant deaths as well as learn
the epidemiology, risk factors and most current research about SIDS and
infant sleep related deaths.  Participants will learn the tenets of the
NICHD's "Back to Sleep" Campaign and its effects in lowering the number of
SIDS deaths in the United States.  Participants will learn why infant safe
sleep is the next step to follow "Back to Sleep" and be able to describe and
implement a safe sleep environment for infants.  Participants will learn how
to counter the most common misconceptions about infant safe sleep and will
learn about the creation of the 'Cribs for Kids' Campaign and learn how to
implement this nationally recognized campaign in their community to combat
infant sleep related deaths due to SIDS and/or accidental suffocation.
