The Safe Sleep Response Training is an online, self-paced course developed by First Candle, a national leader in Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) prevention and bereavement support.
Whether you’re an EMT, first responder, outreach worker, doula, or child welfare professional, you have the power to protect infants and support families in their most vulnerable moments.
“I thought the training was phenomenal! This is the first time I’ve seen the fire department educated about sleeping on the stomach versus sleeping on the back. Also, just a lot of the “why’s” that come with the safe sleep practices. This is super important to make sure we’re helping families and educating them when we see something that’s unsafe.”
– Fire Fighter
“I really enjoyed the course. The first-person story on her loss was very heartfelt and it gave me ideas what to do if I’m ever in that situation – the right way versus the wrong way to help the parents.”
