Addressing Child Abuse and Neglect Through Cross-Sector Collaboration: Spotlight on Prevent Child Abuse America
Primary prevention policies and programs are critical for families and communities. Through cross-sector partnerships and in collaboration with our #partnerinPrevention Pathway to Resilience, we can prevent and address trauma, support healing, and create change at the state and local levels. We will continue to further our primary prevention priorities to ensure families get the support they need before they are in crisis, thereby preventing child welfare system involvement and the costly interventions needed at that point.
Howling with Huskies by Linda Chamberlain
What can three Alaskan husky sled dogs teach Galena and her younger brother, Kimmo, about working with difficult emotions, coping skills for stress, and feeling good? This illustrated children’s book blends storytelling, the northern sport of dog mushing, and skill-building activities to empower children with simple tools for self-calming and well-being.
Adult Responsibility Trainings
Parents, grandparents, foster parents, and community members will really enjoy these trainings and benefit from this information! Also, professionals in many fields can gain much from attending. Professionals who can benefit are early childhood educators, teachers, residential care staff, psychologists, counselors, law enforcement professionals, staff of youth serving organizations, child advocates, social workers, and more.
Check back weekly throughout April to learn some surprising facts about child abuse prevention, healthy and easy changes that will lower the risk of abuse, steps you can take to empower and support children and families, and tools and resources to guide you on the journey of advocacy.
