Jennipher Dickens Talks About Shaken Baby Syndrome

Jennipher Dickens made an excellent presentation about Shaken Baby Syndrome to the Rotary Club yesterday. Jennipher has received a grant from the Bertie County Commissioners to provide training and information about this critical problem to clubs and organizations in our area.




Jennipher's earlier presentation to the County Commisioners was covered on the Patriot blogs here. That article has links to some very usefull sites about SBS. It is important that we do more to get people to understand how fragile a child is and how easily you can create permanent harm if you allow frustration over crying to result in shaking a child. Tens of thousands are permanently harmed ever year because of this reaction. Jennipher is working to reduce that horrible consequence for these children.




Sharon Davis, Rotary President, (shown above) presents Jennipher with the traditional Cobalt Blue Coffee Mug as a thank you for her presentation.

If anyone would like to see Jennipher's presentation on Shaken Baby Syndrome, and volunteer or contribute to help reduce this problem that so devastates a child's life, please call her at (252) 724-0144. This is a preventable tragedy.
