The California SIDS Program responds to the needs of grieving parents and family members by providing a variety of services including crisis intervention, counseling and bereavement support. We assist SIDS professionals and health care providers to identify and obtain appropriate grief, bereavement and risk reduction resources. We also offer technical assistance, consultation and training. For expectant parents and families of newborns we provide information about the recommended American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) prenatal and infant care practices to reduce a baby's risk of SIDS.

The mission of the California SIDS Program is to:

• Help reduce the emotional suffering of SIDS families and caregivers
• Improve the knowledge and skills of people who interact with SIDS families
• Increase public awareness and knowledge of SIDS
• Promote infant care practices to reduce the risk of SIDS
• Collect and monitor data and encourage medical research into SIDS
