Child abuse prevention requires several strategies.
Of these strategies, we are pursuing education as our most effective effort.

• Mandated Reporter Training: Provides people who work with children training in recognizing and reporting child abuse.
• Marriage and Parenting Classes: Helps build healthy relationships and families.
• April National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
• Antelope Valley Transit Authority: Bus placards that educate against Child Abuse, are both inside and outside of the busses.
• Yes2Kids hosts their annual 'Yes2Kids Speak Out About Child Abuse Prevention' writing contest, in April.
• We currently have 11 board members and will expand to 15 members.
• We have become a membership organization and now you can join us.
• We are developing a speakers bureau to inform the community regarding Child Abuse issues.
• The elementary school districts in the Antelope Valley have been encouraged to use an insert when sending home report cards with students.  The insert stresses parental patience, affirmation and encouragement toward their child as they receive their report card.
• We have a speakers bureau and our twice yearly newsletter.
