Progressions’ mission is to support families/caregivers/extended families who have a victim (surviving or deceased) of Shaken Baby Syndrome and advocate awareness by preventative education.
The goals of the support group:
- To be a resource and information network for sharing ideas, practicalities, information and hope;
- support victims and their families during a time when the family is very stressed, specifically by people who have been through the same crisis;
- become a resource for finding information regarding health care, state aid, Area Education Agency, special services/equipment, and special groups to assist the victims in their time of need;
- work as a group on prevention of SBS by educating the public;
- advocate legislation to spread awareness of SBS.
