Prioritizing Child Maltreatment Prevention: A Toolkit for Strengthening NC’s Children & Families

In 2022, Positive Childhood Alliance NC (formerly Prevent Child Abuse NC) launched a new, statewide public awareness campaign specifically for NC DSS agencies. This public awareness campaign, made possible by NC DHHS, can help DSS agencies prioritize, reframe, and align efforts for child maltreatment prevention. 

All DSS employees are encouraged to learn about the new public awareness campaign by watching this recording of our training introducing the campaign and toolkit.

About the Campaign Toolkit:

This public awareness campaign, made possible by NC DHHS, can help DSS agencies prioritize, reframe, and align efforts for child maltreatment prevention across the seven DSS regions. The campaign toolkit includes research-based messaging, information about effective child maltreatment prevention strategies, and materials to help DSS agencies create a shared vision, understanding, and messaging around child maltreatment prevention. All DSS employees are encouraged to review the toolkit and implement it within their agency and communities throughout the year. If you have any questions, please contact PCANC’s Director of Communications and Marketing, Kris Demers by email kdemers@positivechildhoodalliancenc.org or by phone: 919.829.8009 ext. 619.
