The SWLA Safe Sleep Task Force works to educate parents, professionals and caregivers on the American Academy of Pediatrics Safe Sleep Guidelines and to improve knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about the risk of unsafe sleep environments.

​

The Task Force partners with the Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office and Community Chest, Inc. to promote their Cribs for Kids® Program, which provides portable Pack and Play cribs for families who can not afford a safe sleep environment for their infant.

​

The Task Force also partners with local law enforcement and emergency response agencies to train and equip personnel to look for and respond to unsafe sleep environments.

​

We are proud to have trained local hospital staff and have certified our birthing hospitals as National Safe Sleep Certified Facilities.

​

Our task force members are professionals, parents who are Safe To Sleep® National Safe Sleep Champions.
