Prevention: Once Is Not Enough
When talking about prevention, once is not enough. At Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota we want to stop abuse and neglect before it happens by promoting positive parenting, healthy families, and supportive communities. To be most effective, though, we need to really understand what prevention is. This work will require persistence - talking about and applying prevention over and over.
