Public Education Update:

In 2018 CTF entered into collaboration with agencies and organizations across the state with the shared goal of REDUCING INFANT SLEEP RELATED DEATHS BY 20% BY THE END OF 2022.

Despite COVID-related shutdowns and setbacks, CTF and the Safe Sleep Coalition are pleased to report significant progress on our Safe Sleep Strategic Plan, as highlighted in our Safe Sleep Work Plan.

So far this year we have solidified a consistent and unified message, established a clear and up-to-date network for disseminating media and resources, and launched the Safe Sleep Missouri website as the hub for education and training.
