This guide was developed to support service providers in their work with parents, caregivers, and their children, to prevent child abuse and neglect. It was created primarily to support community-based child abuse and prevention professionals who work to strengthen communities and support parents, caregivers, and their children. However, other such as policymakers, parent educators, family support workers, health care providers, program administrators, teachers, child care providers, mentors, and clergy, also will find the resources helpful. Chapters discuss: Laying the Groundwork; Working with Families; The Five Protective Factors; Engaging Your Community; Protecting Children; Resources; and Tip Sheets for Parents and Caregivers.
