It’s Child Abuse Prevention Month! Nelson Mandela reminds us of the importance in protecting children and raising awareness for this cause. Let’s be sure, as a society, to help prevent child abuse this month and every month, and ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and loved. #preventchildabuse #preventchildabusemonth @pcaamerica
Grief comes in all shapes and sizes. Trainer and Success Consultant Laura Joyal explains the importance in acknowledging this fact and allowing ourselves and others to feel this emotion.

Relationships are the most important factor for recovering after a trauma and to help us get through difficult times. In times of need, it's important to have someone to turn to. Trainer and Success Consultant Zoe Lemme explains that this can be with a friend, parent, family member, trusted adult, or even a pet. To learn more about how trauma-informed professionals can help relationships and a sense of trust, check out our Hope at Home curriculum at the link in our bio.
Rebuilding relationships during recovery is essential for both the parent and child. Rebuilding and fostering that connection can allow the family to feel more connected and the child to feel safe and nurtured while the parent is on their journey to healing. Our substance use disorder recovery curriculum, Hope at Home, recognizes this need and provides support to those looking to rebuild those connections. To learn more about Hope at Home and how it can help YOU help your families, check out the link in our bio! #preventchildabuse #preventchildabusemonth @pcaamerica
For years, researchers have been studying the factors that may put families at a higher risk for child abuse and neglect, as well as the conditions that prevent abuse. One of these six Protective Factors is social and emotional competence to promote well-being and safety for children. This factor supports healthy connections for children and their families, which is the main focus of our group parenting curriculum, GK Together. To learn more about this curriculum and how it can help promote healthy connections through conversation guides, developmental activities, and more, check out the link in our bio! #preventchildabuse #preventchildabusemonth @pcaamerica
