For parents & caregivers
These materials were created for parents and caregivers of children, as well as those who work or volunteer with children at schools, daycares, camps, sports and other extracurricular activities.
Did you know? Most sepsis cases in children and young adults start before they go to the hospital. There is a critical need to introduce sepsis education to parents, caregivers, staff and volunteers because they spend time with children when signs of an infection could begin to show.
Together, we can protect our children by stopping infections and acting fast if we suspect sepsis. Families are counting on us. Thank you for your partnership and commitment to children's safety.
