The Chicago Community Trust has connected the generosity of donors with the needs of the community by making grants to organizations working to improve metropolitan Chicago. On behalf of the Executive Committee of The Chicago Community Trust, we award Friend Family Health Center $10,000!

This award will help FFHC continue their prevention and parent education program through the “Purple Crying” education program. The Purple Crying program approaches prevention through parent education about normal infant crying, rather than focusing on warnings of the negative consequences of shaking. It is based on over 30 years of research on infant crying and on strong evidence that demonstrates that infant crying is the most important trigger for Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS).
