Members of the Scotland County Child Fatality Prevention Team Sub-Committee asked the members and myself to come up with ideas that would be helpful with reaching secondary caregivers/Fathers of infants with important information and facts. During that time there had been 4 infants to die within a four month period at the hand of a secondary caregiver/Father within Scotland County.

A major concern of the Committee is that secondary caretakers are unaware of the many dangers associated with Co-sleeping.
We brainstormed on avenues to reach them Posters was decided upon My Submission was chosen with a few modifications
