October 25, 2011 3:54 pm Announcements/InformationThe Children’s Trust Fund (CTF) in collaboration with the Bureau of Genetics and Healthy Childhood has developed a new educational video for expecting or new parents. The DVD has chapters in English, Spanish, and English close-captioned titled “Never Shake a Baby/Preventing Shaken Baby Syndrome” and “Safe Sleep for Your Baby.”
The DVD meets the qualifications of 191.748 RSMo, which requires all new mothers have an opportunity to view a video on the dangers of shaken baby syndrome before the mother’s discharge from the healthcare facility after delivery. In addition, the DVD has a chapter specific for healthcare providers on the pathophysiology of Shaken Baby Syndrome by Dr. Mary Case, Chief Medical Examiner of St. Louis County.
The DVDs are available free-of-charge through the CTF website at http://ctf4kids.org/ and can be shown to parents by healthcare providers, home visitors, and parent educators.
