The Prevention Committee is busy with a variety of ongoing initiatives, most recently the design, production and dissemination of thousands of well-baby instructional flyers to local hospitals, medical clinics, and community agencies.  The cards, printed in English and Spanish, provide parents of newborns with easy tips to remember in providing for the care and nurturing of their newborn.

The 2010 Prevention Committee participated in the Rethink Your Reaction publicity campaign developed by the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation and is busy planning additional publicity campaign ideas for 2011.  The program is designed to promote safe and healthy family interaction with posters, brochures, activity cubes and banners.  Please feel free to download, print and post RYR posters or click on the RYC posters attachment at the bottom of this page.  Or visit www.rethinkyourreaction.org for a whole host of resource materials!
