SUMMARY:Child Abuse Prevention Month
DESCRIPTION:April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. \nKVC is committed to preventing child abuse and neglect all year and prevention begins with strengthening families. This month is a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to promote the social and emotional well-being of children and families. \nBy ensuring that parents and caregivers have the knowledge\, skills\, and resources they need to care for their children we can prevent child abuse and neglect. Research shows protective factors are present in healthy families and contribute to positive outcomes. Promoting protective factors and enhancing parenting skills are two of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect. \nProtective factors include:\n\nNurturing and attachment\nKnowledge of parenting skills and of child and youth development\nParental resilience\nSocial connections\nConcrete supports for parents\nSocial and emotional competence of children\n\nBuilding meaningful connections and support systems with children\, youth and families in our communities is a vital part of preventing child abuse.
