Child Abuse & Neglect Awareness in South Carolina

Awareness and Prevention Messaging

By sharing information on healthy parenting, positive childhood experiences and community support, prevention messaging helps shift public perception from focusing solely on intervention to building strong foundations that keep families safe and supported. When we talk openly about prevention, we create a culture that values children’s well-being and believes in protecting every child before abuse or neglect ever occurs.
