Child Abuse Prevention Toolkits
2023 Child Abuse Prevention Toolkit - Available Now!
Building Together: Prevention in Partnership is this year’s prevention theme for Child Abuse Prevention Month in Virginia. It highlights that we all have a role in disrupting the cycles of child abuse, neglect and poverty by strengthening Virginia’s families and communities.
This year’s toolkit includes resources on:
-
How home visiting helps
-
Facts on Opioid overdoses
-
Using a trauma-informed approach
-
Tips on preventing youth bullying, including cyberbullying
-
How to talk with and help youth who may identify as LGBTQ
​
This year’s packet is now digital to make it easier for you to grab and share what you want, when you want. We’ve also developed a series of social media posts that you can use for Child Abuse Prevention Month and throughout the year to reinforce #GreatChildhoods and #GreatChildhoodsVA! Just be sure to tag @FamiliesForwardVirginia on Facebook, @FamiliesForwardVa on Instagram and @Families4wardVa on Twitter so we can share your posts too!
Funding for developing our child abuse prevention toolkit was provided by the Virginia Department of Social Services with a Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Grant from the Office on Child Abuse and Neglect, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
