Child Maltreatment Prevention Resource Guide

This resource from the Children’s Safety Network highlights data, strategies, and cross-sector approaches to preventing child abuse and neglect. It offers practical insight into how coordinated efforts across systems can better support families and reduce risk factors early.

TANF programs can use this guide to strengthen prevention-focused services by aligning with child welfare, public health, and community partners. By using data and evidence-informed strategies, programs can improve coordination, target supports more effectively, and reinforce stable, family-based environments.
