Become a prevention partner today and be part of the statewide campaign to build strong families.

The time is now to stand together for children and families in South Carolina. Child Abuse Prevention Month materials are a great tool for community engagement.

One base box includes:

120 pinwheels
One yard sign
20 pinwheel lapel pins
50 Positive Messages for Kids sticky notes
50 Helping Kids Grow booklets

Additional materials can be purchased to support Child Abuse Prevention Month activities and events.

Become a Prevention Partner

Be a prevention hero

This year, we want to showcase everyday heroes working to build strong families across our state. From the dedicated volunteers who lead parents groups to the prevention leaders innovating new ways to support families county or statewide, everyone can be a prevention hero.

Nominate a prevention hero in your community and honor the partnerships that make prevention happen every day. If your nominee is selected, they will be featured in a story on the Children's Trust website and social media channels, and the nominating organization will receive a small financial award of $100 to support the work of prevention in South Carolina.
