Community Prevention Action Plans
Building Community Prevention Action Plans
Prevent Child Abuse NC offers support to interested community members who want to build Community Prevention Action Plans (CPAPs). The CPAPs are based on the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework and are built by community members across all sectors. The stated mission of the plans is to educate, empower, and support communities to implement effective child abuse and neglect prevention strategies so every child grows up in a safe, stable, nurturing environment.
Community Planning Toolbox
To build a successful Community Prevention Action Plan, a community needs access to various resources. Through the years, PCANC, with the help of many partners including the Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Early Childhood, developed tools for communities to make local planning and community engagement easier.
These resources and tools are now available to any community interested in planning work for FREE!
