Ep 17 - Christine Baker - Preventing Shaken Baby Syndrome on a State-Wide Level in Washington State
Thursday, 27 April, 2023
This final episode of our 8-part April Child Abuse Prevention series brings us a conversation with Christine Baker, program coordinator for Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Child Protection Advocacy and Outreach Program.Christine tells us that Seattle Children’s led a summit to address #ShakenBabySyndrome (SBS) prevention after seeing SBS cases triple during the recession in 2008. The summit resulted in a task force consisting of law enforcement, medical professionals and child protective services officials that ultimately chose the Period of #PURPLEcrying as the state prevention program. It took Christine and her team several years to build PURPLE into the state-wide program it was intended to be, requiring support in training and fidelity to ensure the program’s success. Christine feels the joy of success when she hears from new families who benefited from the Period of PURPLE Crying education they received and stays committed to prevention having worked with several families of victims of SBS/AHT in Washington state.Brought to you by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome (NCSBS).The views and opinions expressed by the guests on this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of the NCSBS.Follow the NCSBS on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram: /ncsbs
