Eligibility

Mercer County Children and Youth employees, affiliates will submit a referral to Dana Kennedy for clients that they are working with that are involved with the agency. To be eligible to receive a crib through the Cribs for Kids Safe Sleep Program, families must reside in Mercer County, be involved with Mercer County Children and Youth services, be expecting a child or have an infant under one year of age who does not have a safe sleep environment. Caregivers will be required to participate in a brief safe sleep education session that reviews recommended safe sleep practices and the ABCs of safe sleep. Following completion of the education component, caregivers will sign a safe sleep agreement acknowledging their understanding of the guidelines and confirming that the crib will be used as the infant’s primary sleep space. This process ensures that families not only receive the necessary equipment but also the knowledge needed to promote infant safety.
