What is your role in preventing child abuse/neglect and substance abuse? Child neglect is much more passive than abuse, it is the most common form of maltreatment, and the rates are increasing. 1,740 children died in 2008 due to abuse/neglect (up from 1,200 in 2000). Nurturing Parenting Programs are proven to increase protective factors and reduce the risk factors that are causing these statistics. We need your help to access the families in your community and give at-risk children a better chance of success.
