Minnesota Networking for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect

Welcome

Minnesota Networking for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect is an online communication tool that provides a space for communities, nonprofits, local units of government, faith communities, and others to connect around issues that are important in providing support for parents and building healthy and safe communities.

This networking website provides the opportunity to share best practices, disseminate recent information, ask questions, pose solutions, and share successful activities for child abuse and neglect prevention. The latest evaluation and reporting documents for Strengthening Families Grantees and Child Abuse Prevention Councils will also be linked here.

This networking website is sponsored by Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota with support from the Minnesota Department of Human Services' Children's Trust Fund.

Together—by working in partnership—Strengthening Families Grantees, Child Abuse Prevention Councils, and other state and local partners and resources, can actively:

1. Build local and statewide capacity for enhancing communities to prevent abuse and neglect;

2. Connect the child abuse prevention network and increase knowledge and skills by sharing
successful strategies and programming;

3. Promote continuous program improvement by sharing best practices, research, and evaluation data;

4. Coordinate statewide child abuse and neglect work to maximize impact of prevention efforts; and

5. Recognize and promote the work that is being done in Minnesota communities to prevent child
abuse and neglect.
