Every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment. During Child Protection Week, let's raise our voices and take action to ensure their safety and well-being. Child Protection Week is a crucial time to reflect on the importance of safeguarding children and to reinforce our collective responsibility to protect them from harm. By promoting awareness, advocating for stronger policies, and supporting organizations dedicated to child welfare, we can create a world where every child can thrive free from abuse and neglect. Let's come together to educate ourselves and others, volunteer our time, and support initiatives that prioritize the health, safety, and happiness of all children. Every effort counts in building a future where every child feels valued, protected, and loved. #grestates #childprotectionweek #keepchildrensafe #GeneveAtGREstates

States are optimistic about new and growing prevention efforts and eager to provide additional supports for families—including families with infants and toddlers—that truly meet their needs and reduce child maltreatment and child welfare system involvement. With the current emphasis on expansion, this is an ideal time for new and constructive partnerships between child welfare and early childhood agencies to set common goals, leverage new opportunities, and navigate challenges. As states across the country continue to invest in prevention, Child Trends recommends state leaders: 🤝 Reduce silos across and between agencies and their partners. 🤱 Increase supports specifically designed to meet the needs of families with very young children. 🗣 Promote equity in policies and practice, and bring parents with lived expertise into decision-making roles. 📜 Facilitate the use of the federal Family First Act in their overall prevention efforts.

Is there anything more precious than a child? More than 390,000 children in the U.S. are in the child welfare system today because they endured abuse or neglect at home. And many of them are right here in Indiana. Every day, at Child Advocates, we stand up for their rights seeking justice, equity, and well-being for each of them. And our attorneys help these vulnerable children find a permanent and safe home. We offer a unique direct representation program--the only one in Indiana that provides a free, in-house attorney for older children, statewide, to represent their legal needs. We support their right to be involved in their future. We also offer free, educational liaisons across Indiana to help children succeed if they are struggling in school. And we host “Interrupting Racism for Children” workshops to help build a better future for every child. Learn more about our work. Seek help if you need it. Or any day throughout the year, learn how you can support the children we serve: https://ow.ly/Uo4g50QSevk #preventchildabuse #childadvocacy #equity

Creating a vision of Hope Centered Human Services. Associate Professor, Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work at the University of Oklahoma. Owner, Pharris Consulting, LLC.
April is Child Abuse Prevention month. Can you imagine a future where all children are safe, protected and flourishing? We all have a role to play in setting the course for this future. What do you hope for? And, how can we build strategies that make that future possible? Chan Hellman, PhD and I have been working with child welfare agencies, schools and community organizations to create a shared vision, common language and a process that can make big, aspirational goals a reality. #hopescience #wellbeing #childabuseprevention

In our Annual Report, we released several key findings. There are many challenges in child welfare and juvenile justice that remain to be addressed and some new issues have been identified. Here is one key finding. Three common safety concerns for mothers and fathers of children in out-of-home care with a goal of reunification or family preservation were mental health, substance use, and domestic violence. The majority of mothers and fathers were making at least some progress on these issues at the time of review. Read the report for all insights and recommendations: https://lnkd.in/gTEnvaCs
