Event information
Protective Factors serve as buffers, helping parents who might otherwise be at risk of abusing their children find resources, supports and coping strategies so they can parent more effectively, even under stress.
By understanding the Protective Factors and how they can contribute to the well-being of communities and individuals, we can work to negate the effects of abuse and improve outcomes for South Carolina’s children and families.
Please join us for three hours of credit.
