Participants will explore the causes and risk factors associated with abusive head trauma, recognize early warning signs, and understand the serious and lifelong consequences for infants and young children. The course emphasizes prevention through safe caregiving practices, effective responses to infant crying, and stress-management strategies for caregivers.

Educators will also review their professional and legal responsibilities, including mandated reporting requirements and creating safe, supportive environments for infants and families.
