Based on the BC Safe Sleep Environment Guideline for Infants, the safe sleep parent 
resource provides parents and caregivers with up-to-date information about safe sleep environments for infants 0-12 months of age. For nap time, night time, home, or away, the resource helps parents reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and prevent accidental death due to infants being trapped between two surfaces or suffocating during sleep.
The resource and related poster are available on the Best Chance website. Printed versions of the resource and posters will be distributed to parents and health care providers through health authorities.
The resource will also be translated into Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Spanish, and Korean.

May 18, 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
Hosted by Dr. Clyde Hertzman and the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP)
The foundations for all learning are established in the first six years yet Canada and British Columbia perform relatively poorly in terms of their investment in young children. HELP’s research is central to changing this.
The Human Early Learning Partnership – HELP – is a nationally and internationally recognized interdisciplinary research program (located at UBC), with a ten year focus on ensuring that early child development research knowledge is translated to community and policy action.
HELP is hosting the Early Child Development Research Exposition on May 18, 2011. The goal of this event is to reach out to the UBC research community to showcase the breadth and depth of HELP’s population health, interdisciplinary work and to make valuable research connections with students, researchers and faculty members interested in early child development and population health.
Please join us on May 18th to learn more about HELP and meet HELP faculty and researchers who are making unique research contributions to understanding the biological, psychological and societal factors influencing children’s health and development.
To register and for more information please visit Early Child Development Research Exposition.
