- Title
'Coping with Crying': An innovative new programme to support positive parenting and prevent child abuse.

- Abstract
Infant crying can be difficult for parents, and in extreme cases, given a combination of other factors, can lead to a parent harming their baby and the baby suffering from a non-accidental head injury (NAHI). There are currently no evidence-based services in the UK for supporting parents in managing infant crying and preventing NAHI. The NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) has developed a service to fill this gap called 'Coping with Crying'. 'Coping with Crying' is a psycho-educational film that raises awareness about the risks of shaking babies, improves parental understanding about crying and promotes the use of positive coping strategies. The initial evaluation results are promising and the NSPCC is developing an approach for national scale up of the service to ensure that it is available to parents of all new babies.
