Grant to Target Shaken-Baby Syndrome

Worcester Telegram & Gazette--January 31, 2005


WORCESTER--The Health Foundation of Central Massachusetts has pledged a $373,153 grant to the Child Abuse Prevention and Protection Collaborative of Central Massachusetts.

The grant will help the collaborative expand its Central Massachusetts Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Campaign.

Through the campaign, the collaborative has trained more than 60 hospital nurses and 430 social workers and health educators to teach parents about the dangers of shaking infants and how to cope with crying babies. Shaken-baby syndrome is a frequent cause of major brain injuries and death in young children.
