SIDS Awareness

SIDS Awareness

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) describes the sudden, unexplained death of an infant less than a year old. It is also called "crib death," but cribs do not cause SIDS.

Don't worry. No questions asked. No condemnation. Only safety.

Don't worry. No questions asked. No condemnation. Only safety.

If you don't want your baby, Indiana law allows you to drop-off the newborn at any fire station or other emergency medical provider, with no questions asked.

Dunebrook Celebrates 20 Years!

The LaPorte County Child Abuse Prevention Council, Inc., doing business as Dunebrook Prevent Child Abuse LaPorte County, is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1989.

The mission of this organization is to advocate for children and provide positive family support and education. Dunebrook was initially developed to increase community awareness of child abuse and neglect and to coordinate services for child abuse victims and their families. The creators envisioned a center where intervention and prevention would work together toward the best interests of the children in LaPorte County. Dunebrook was to be a child centered, safe place devoted to nurturing families and protecting children. Nurturing families, helping parents and advocating for children have become Dunebrook's greatest strengths.
