Safe Sleep, Real Conversations: Supporting Families with Empathy

In this episode, we sit down with Brandi Didino of the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) and Margo Katz of the Rhode Island Department of Health to unpack the evolving guidance around infant safe sleep. We explore the emotional, cultural, and practical challenges families face, how professionals can meet parents with empathy, and what evidence‑based support really looks like in child welfare.
