Parent Child Centers and Childcare Providers are a key component in prevention and are a valuable resource and support for parents.
PCAVT offers free training for parents and caregivers including strategies that may help to save a child’s life. Trainees are eligible for professional development training hours.
Many of you may know Shaken Baby Syndrome is the term used to describe the group of injuries an infant or small child receives after a violent shaking. Did you know that sadly, this is the most lethal type of child abuse, and that 25% of these infants and young children die? And 50% will suffer lifelong disabilities? And only 25% will lead normal and healthy lives? Fortunately, this is the most preventable form of child abuse. It is our goal to ensure that every Vermonter knows:
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SHAKE A BABY
Trainings are two hours long and include brain Jell-O molds, dolls, and a powerful video. We will come to you at no charge. Please consider being a host for a training in your area for childcare providers and or parents.
