About Us

abusive head trauma

Also known as Shaken Baby Syndrome, Abusive Head Trauma is a severe form of physical child abuse that results in an injury to the brain of a child. This often occurs when a parent or caregiver is frustrated because of a child crying. Abusive Head Trauma can result in bleeding in the brain and around the eyes and have lifelong effects on children. Abusive Head Trauma is the leading cause of physical abuse deaths in children under 5 in the U.S. according to the CDC.

Our story

Never Shake Minnesota was founded by Crystal and Brendan McNally. Their son, Nolan, is a survivor of abusive head trauma or shaken baby syndrome. He was just 6 months old when he was abused. This non-profit organization was started to help other babies and families who have suffered from the trauma of abusive head trauma.
