Each year over one hundred infants die in Michigan because of where and how they are placed for sleep.
On March 5, 6, and 7, 2010, in celebration of Parenting Awareness Month and to raise awareness of these totally PREVENTABLE deaths, Washtenaw Area Council for Children and Safe Kids Huron Valley will be hosting a display table of information during mall hours for new and expecting parents, and others at Briarwood Mall near the JC Penney mall entrance.
Included will be demonstrations of safe and unsafe sleep environments, important handouts on how to safely sleep your baby, and someone to answer questions. We will also be holding a drawing for a FREE Graco Pack 'n Play portable crib, courtesy of Safe Kids Huron Valley. Also, highlighted will be other infant mortality information in an effort to reduce infant death in Washtenaw County.
For more information please contact info@washtenawchildren.org or call the Council office at 734-434-4215.

Save the Date: Washtenaw Area Council for Children Annual Conference
The Washtenaw Area Council for Children announces its Annual Conference for 2010:
Save the Date: Friday, April 16, 2010 from 9 AM - 12:30 PM at Washtenaw County ISD.
This year's presentation, "Hurt, Rage, and Emotional Maltreatment - Is there anything we can do?," is an intense workshop focusing on the root cause of rage and how connected it is to emotional maltreatment and neglect. Love and attachment as the direct opposite of "benign" neglect and behavioral and emotional effects of the neglected child will be discussed. Also included will be a discussion on corrective measures for the emotionally maltreated child. This workshop will be appropriate for those who work with all ages of children.
The presenter is Phillip D. Hamberg, LMSW, LMFT who has experience presenting in areas of early childhood development, early childhood trauma, childhood violence, K-12 classroom behavior problems and pre-school behavioral problems. We will again be applying for Social Work CEUs for this conference.
Watch their website: www.washtenawchildren.org for more info as it becomes available.
