Monthly Luncheon – April 2022
In recognition of April being Child Abuse Prevention Month, Caitlin Judd from Scott County Children’s Services and Casey Steciw with Scott County Public Health will join us at this month’s luncheon to speak about “Together WE CAN”.
Together WE CAN (Work to End Child Abuse and Neglect) is a community-driven movement with the bold goal of ending child maltreatment within a generation. Founded on the belief that parental wellbeing is inextricably linked to child wellbeing, Together WE CAN works to mitigate the impact of past trauma while preventing future trauma, meeting families where they are to support emotional and economic stability.
According to Child Welfare Information Gateway, “Prevention is the best hope for reducing child abuse and neglect and improving the lives of children and families. Strengthening families and preventing child abuse requires a shared commitment of individuals and organizations in every community.”
