Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 2020 Impact Report

Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 2020 Impact Report

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the United States. #ShakenBabySyndrome / #AbusiveHeadTrauma is a leading cause of physical child abuse deaths in children under 5 years of age in the U.S.

If you're the parent of an infant, you're likely to feel the stress of parenthood. Less sleep, lack of individual time, infant crying, etc. If you're caring for a baby and start to feel frustrated, take some time to calm down. Put the baby in a safe place, like a crib, and walk away. Go back and check on the baby often, but DO NOT pick up the baby if you're feeling frustrated or angry.

Call a friend or family member. Call a local organization that is dedicated to families. Call for help. There's no shame in admitting that raising a child is difficult. It takes courage to ask for help. Together, we can #StopChildAbuse.

NEVER SHAKE A BABY.
