This toolkit is a product of the Prevent Child Abuse (PCA America) Chapter Network Policy Affinity Group’s work across the policy area of paid family leave as a strategy in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
It focuses on paid leave policies and their relationship with child well-being and parenting, regardless of what they are called or how they are bundled with other types of leave, and is designed to provide an overview of strategies, tools, and resources for the PCA America chapter network. It contains sample legislation, communication strategies, successes, challenges, outcomes, and other helpful information for PCA America chapters to utilize in their prevention work.
