Making Safe Sleep Accessible and Inclusive

September 16, 2021

This session will examine implicit bias and how this impacts the way in which a provider might communicate safe sleep information to a family. We review how fathers can be empowered to take an active role in promoting safe sleep and supporting mom in breastfeeding and discuss the DC Safe Sleep Education and Outreach Project. Theme(s): Safe Sleep, Fatherhood

Barb Himes, Director of Education and Bereavement Services, First Candle
Dr. Kristinza Giese, Deputy Medical Examiner, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner
Jacqueline Corbin-Armstrong, Fatality Review Specialist, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Sharon Brandon, Safe Sleep Program Coordinator, DC Health
