In this course, participants will learn how to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) using the ABC’s of safe sleep. Presented by The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services and the Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office, participants will hear real SIDS and SUID cases from the field. Presenters will explain how applying the ABC’s of safe sleep could have prevented each case. Also discussed are the risk factors of SIDS and SUID incidents and how these factors contribute to causing SIDS and SUID. 

Certified Foster Parents can "test out" of this course. If users pass the pre-test, they will receive course completion credit and do not have to retake the training. If users fail the pre-test, they will be required to take the course and post-test. All pre-certified foster parents will need to take the mandatory courses in their entirety.
