Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect

South Carolina First Steps and the Strengthening Families Leadership Team are pleased to partner with Zero to Three to offer training to early childhood professionals in an effort to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the State Partnerships for Prevention Project provides two components:

  • Training and resources for child care professionals, who can then share information with parents and families; and

  • Training for early childhood leaders who will help child care professionals develop and use prevention skills.
