2019 Prevention Resource Guide

The Children's Bureau Office on Child Abuse and Neglect, its Child Welfare Information Gateway, and the FRIENDS National Center for Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention developed this Resource Guide to help service providers prevent child abuse and neglect and promote child and family well-being. Content includes protective factors to strengthen individuals, families and communities; model programs that can be implemented when working with families and using the protective factor framework; ways the framework can build community partnerships; and how to protect children from abuse. The Resource Guide also provides parents and caregivers with English and Spanish tip sheets on building and sustaining a healthy home environment for children.
