Earlier this year, the California Departments of Social Services and Public Health initiated a statewide safe sleep awareness campaign (PIN 19-02-CCP) to prevent sleep-related infant fatalities. The goal is to build on existing child health and development networks, including local governments, nonprofit organizations, and advocates, to leverage and expand resources available to infant caregivers to eliminate preventable deaths.
