Bridges Out of Poverty—Strategies for Professionals and Communities Based upon Ruby Payne’s groundbreaking research, Bridges Out of Poverty training provides powerful tools designed for social, health and educational services providers to address poverty in a comprehensive way. Participants develop a deeper understanding of class and poverty, learn strategies to improve effectiveness and communication with families and improve child and family outcomes.

Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is a devastating yet preventable cause of death in newborns and infants. It is a result of a newborn baby or infant being physically shaken, back and forth, while the brain gains momentum with each shake, as it is slammed against the skull. The baby experiences such severe head trauma the results range from death to blindness, disabling neck and brain damage, paralysis, mental retardation, learning disabilities and more. This 90 minute training includes printed training materials, demonstration with “Marianna” our SBS simulator doll, and tools for coping to help parents and caregivers avoid shaking a child. This training can be combined with Safe Sleeping Habits.
Safe Sleeping Habits Education is very important for families who engage in co-bedding or co-sleeping or who have infants or children who do not have proper bedding in the home. Infants and children are at risk for injury or death when parents or caregivers co-sleep while under the influence of prescription or street drugs or alcohol, sleep with children on a chair or couch which is not set up for co-sleeping, and infants and children sleeping with improper or too much bedding or sleeping face down in their bed. This is a 1 hour training which includes printed training materials and education on safe co-bedding practices. This training can be combined with Shaken Baby Syndrome.
