It is the belief of this organization that very little time is devoted to preparing young adults for what to expect when bringing home a baby. COPE24 has put together, with input from the Missouri Department of Education, a 2-week Parenting Skills Program to be presented in classrooms around the nation. Click Here to see clips of each video.
The COPE24 Parenting Skill Program is being implemented in schools across the nation and is gaining momentum. Our teachers want to reach their students with this program in the 8th and 9th grades.
In our continuing efforts to equip our youth with parenting skills, we are preparing to expand our focus on Shaken Baby Syndrome (“SBS”). We are developing a documentary video concentrating on those who have survived being shaken as a baby, or toddler, and suffer from SBS.
If you are a parent or guardian, of such a child, and feel that you can open your heart to our youth, share your efforts on behalf of your child and your sorrow in a life detoured by a senseless act; we would love to hear from you. The child doesn't have to be an infant now. Their situation just needs to be a documented case of SBS.

All information will be kept confidential until such time a decision is made by you to proceed with the project.
