This interactive course is specifically targeted to occupations that educate parents in a professional capacity and could be held liable for misinformation. The course is recommended for all educators of parents: medical office staff, hospital staff, doulas, lactation consultants, nursing staff, Baby Safe Instructors, CPR instructors, EMS personnel - virtually any professional occupation/personnel not currently certified in Child Passenger Safety.
This course will enhance the educator’s ability to convey the most current recommendations to parents and parents-to-be. Among the topics that will be presented and discussed are current recommendations and research from the American Academy of Pediatrics, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and numerous safety experts. Additionally, since making the correct choice in obtaining the correct child restraint for each family is a critical component in protecting children, many specific features of child restraints will be discussed to assist the educator in addressing specific needs of their audience. Liabilty issues for those working in professional capacities with also be covered.
The course is taught by Child Passenger Safety Technician Instructors from the Child Safety Division of Nourish Family Center. The three Instructors, Vera Fullaway, Camie Wewer and Mike Medhurst bring their vast expertise and knowledge to the newly developed courses.
This class is held at North Suburban Medical Center in Thornton in the Education Rooms by the Cafeteria. (This class is not held at Nourish Family Center.)
