Plenary Session: The National Action Partnership to Promote Safe Sleep: From Campaigns to Conversations This session will provide an overview of the National Action Partnership to Promote Safe Sleep (NAPPSS), a HRSA/MCHB-funded initiative that is engaging a coalition of over 50 national organizations, with the active involvement of federal partners including the NICHD’s Safe to Sleep campaign. The mission of NAPPSS is to develop and implement a practical National Action Plan to Increase Safe Infant Sleep and partner to support breastfeeding among infant caregivers by activating systems, supports, and services to systematically work together to make safe infant sleep a national norm. NAPPSS Project Director Suzanne Bronheim will share about the evolution of their unique and innovative approach, which builds on the success of public education campaigns to raise awareness, but focuses on the next step—moving from awareness to action, or "from Campaigns to Conversations." |
