Child Abuse Prevention Programs in South Carolina
Our Programs
When we invest in South Carolina’s communities and work together, we create long-term sustainability and impact for stronger families and safer children.
Preventing child abuse and neglect requires more than just good intentions—it demands a strategic and sustained investment in effective solutions.
A continuum of evidence-based prevention programs offers families the right support at the right time, ranging from early parent education and home visiting to community-based interventions that foster resilience and enhance protective factors. These proven strategies not only address crises but also enable families to thrive, lower long-term costs for health and social systems, and create safer, healthier futures for children. When we invest in prevention, we invest in lasting impact.
