Recognizes and commends the Cherokee Circuit Child Fatality Review Committee for receiving the 2015 Child Fatality Review Prevention Team Award for efforts to reduce child death and injury in Gordon and Bartow Counties under the leadership of Assistant District Attorney Sharon Fox

Gordon County addressed sleep-related infant deaths by distributing ten Pack 'n Plays to low-income families through the GBI's Child Fatality Review Unit and Cribs for Kids, and coordinated consistent safe-sleep messaging across hospitals, pediatricians, DFCS, and the Child Advocacy Center, resulting in a dramatic drop in sleep-related infant deaths

Gordon County created a program allowing probationers to receive community service hour deductions for purchasing new car or booster seats, which are distributed at an Annual Safety Fair held at a local Home Depot

Bartow County coordinated Youth Mental Health First Aid training within the circuit, with a goal of training at least 1,000 people by the end of the program grant to assist youth experiencing mental health crises and reduce youth suicide rates
