The prevention of child abuse and neglect before it starts is the best hope for improving the lives of children and families.
Strengthening families and preventing child abuse requires a shared commitment of individuals and organizations in every community. Last year, Kids Central served over 14,000 children in child abuse prevention programming.
Kids Central provides a number of prevention programs to meet the needs of the families served: Family Resource Centers, Kinship Care, Family Preservation Services, Healthy Start/MIECHV Services, End Kids’ Tears Campaigns, and Baby Sleep Basics.
