Associated Initiatives » Child Death Review Team

Mission

To understand how and why children die in St Clair County, in order to take action to prevent other child deaths.

Child Death Review Team

• The Child Death Review Team is led by St. Clair Health Department.

Manner of Death

• Reviewed 18 cases; 10 Cases were Birth to One Year; 1 case was ages 1 to 12 years; and 7 cases were ages 13 to 18 years. 

Prevention Efforts

• Team discussions focus on identifying contributing factors and advancing initiatives that support safe, healthy pregnancies and childhood outcomes. Members promote community engagement in early prenatal and infant support programs, such as the Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP), Women, Infants and Children (WIC), and Children’s Special Health Care Services (CSHCS). These programs offer nutritional support, health education, counseling, and access to healthcare and social services.

Family Support

• Members share local grief and support resources with families impacted by the loss of a child.
