Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) 101
SBS 101 is designed for the general public and is
wonderful for parents, grandparents, human service
providers, and all other interested Vermonters.
Trainings provide a basic introduction to Shaken
Baby Syndrome, the cause, and outcomes of shaking
a baby, as well as why babies cry and how to console
them. This curriculum helps participants to identify
stressors and safe ways to manage their frustrations.
Hospital Education Program
for Maternity Services
The hospital education program is designed for
nurses and healthcare providers who provide care
to new and expectant parents. This curriculum
provides the tools and materials needed for
healthcare providers to educate parents about safely
caring for their newborns. Trainings for parents
focus on crying
patterns, how
to cope with an
inconsolable
crying infant,
and how to deal
with their own
frustrations. It is
comprehensive,
yet concise, and
respects the time
constraints health
professionals face.
The School-Based Curriculum
on Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive
Head Trauma for Middle and
High School Students
The school-based curriculum is designed for teachers
to incorporate into their health education curriculum.
It is easy to use and introduces students to Shaken
Baby Syndrome. It includes classroom discussion
ideas, quizzes and Elijah’s Story video. The curriculum
educates students about the medical aspects of shaking
injuries, what triggers a person to shake a baby, and
safe ways to deal with the frustrations and stresses of
caring for an infant. Students will learn appropriate
stress management skills.
Dads 101/Baby 101
Dads 101 introduces new and expectant fathers and
experienced caregivers to the basics of caring for their
newborn. Trainings include information ranging from
diaper changing to bathing. Shaken Baby Syndrome
prevention is covered, as well as dealing with the
frustrations of infant care and ways to safely care for
a crying baby. Dads 101/Baby 101 helps caregivers feel
more comfortable in their roles, thereby reducing the
stresses that can lead to shaking.
