The coronavirus outbreak has altered the lives of many people across the globe. As our country’s federal and state governments have worked to respond medically and economically, one thing is certain. Children and families need more help than ever.
State and national experts are saying isolation and stress for families who are confined to their homes lead to higher rates of child abuse and neglect. That’s why it is so important for Children’s Trust to work with its 50-plus funded partners across South Carolina to continue prevention efforts such as the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), and the Strengthening Families Program (photo above shows a 2019 graduation).
