Thank you for championing safe infant sleep best practices!

Talking with parents, grandparents, and other caregivers about safe infant sleep creates awareness and saves lives.

This toolkit provides guidance to implement the DSHS Let’s Talk – Safe Infant Sleep community training and use the DSHS Safe Infant Sleep toolkit. Toolkit materials help parents make decisions about safe infant sleep practices and safe sleep environments.

Let’s Talk – Safe Infant Sleep builds on what you know about safe infant sleep and moves your work to a model of action. The new approach focuses on an open and honest dialogue between the community trainer and families and caregivers. This training updates and replaces the previous DSHS-developed “Safe Sleep for Babies, a Community Training.”

Use the Let’s Talk – Safe Infant Sleep Implementation Guide to bring this new approach to your community
