ICON Week (23 – 27 September 2024): Infant Crying is Normal, You can Cope
Taking place from September 23 to 27, ICON Week 2024 is dedicated to raising awareness about infant crying and how to manage it, supporting parents and carers, and preventing serious injuries, illnesses, and even fatalities caused by Abusive Head Trauma, often resulting from shaking a baby.
ICON is a program embraced by multi-agency partners across Sussex, and the UK, providing essential information about infant crying, including coping strategies, parental support, and stress reduction.
More information about ICON and local resources can be found on our ICON Resources – Infant crying is normal – ESSCP webpage.
The 2024 ICON Week focuses on sharing ideas and best practices. Friends and relatives play a crucial role in supporting parents and carers during the challenging times when a baby is crying. Explore the new Friends and Family leaflet and other resources on the website Resources – Home – ICON Cope.
