Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Training

Wisconsin's Prevent Violence Against Children Act requires child care providers and preschool teachers to attend an approved training on Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention. To learn more about this training opportunity, please click here: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for Child Care Providers.

If you are a child care provider planning to take SBS Prevention training, please check the List of Authorized Trainers for Child Care Provider Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention Training to make sure the person offering the training is approved. Otherwise your training will not meet the requirement.

To find a source of training, try:

The Child Care Resource and Referral Agency serving your county

The TNet Training Network
