The California SIDS Program has developed a variety of useful, insightful and sensitive materials for professionals involved with SIDS. These materials are geared toward coroners, emergency personnel, first responders, law enforcement officers, nurses, public health professionals and SIDS Coordinators. Some of the resources offered are for client distribution and may be available in non-English languages. Other materials are specifically designed for professionals to augment grief/bereavement services, risk reduction outreach activities and community based educational programs. This wide array of resources covers four areas:
|
-
