Below are listed selected materials on SIDS, safe sleep, and related topics that can be accessed directly online.
Multimedia Series: Wisdom from the Field
The Resource Center has launched Wisdom from the Field, a video and audio podcast series featuring personal stories from a wide range of people in the Sudden, Unexpected Infant/Child Death and Pregnancy Loss field, including parents, doctors and nurse practitioners, researchers, members of the faith-based community, bereavement counselors, and others.

The workshop featured Rachel Moon discussing safe sleep and related topics with a room full of practitioners. With active participation from the eager crowd, Dr. Moon's research meets the real world in these sessions.
