Families in Crisis: Safe Sleep and Other Basic Needs for Newborns

Presenting Nonprofit: Second Stork

Event Description:
When family is in crisis at the same time they deliver a newborn, life can feel pretty stressful. What happens when they have no funds, but also no support of family, a community or others to give them the essential items needed to keep their baby safe and healthy? What are those items? And what is “safe sleep” for any newborn, even when aa family is financially sound? And why is it so critical to give these families information and safe sleep options?

There will be a Q&A session for you to ask questions (anonymously if you wish).
