About This Cause
We believe that every child has the right to a bright successful future, and it all begins with a healthy childhood. We all benefit when children grow up in loving homes with appropriate structure and limits. COMMUNITY-WIDE RESPONSIBILITY Child abuse and neglect are a community problem. We encourage everyone to recognize the signs and report those signs to the appropriate officials. Oftentimes, children and their families are the ones who are required to change their behavior or are at the center of solving the problem, including removing children from their families. However, PCANC recognizes that the system around families, including other people, has a responsibility for supporting families and helping create solutions that are beyond reporting. Prevention through proactive policies and community supports are crucial to changing the system so that parents can provide nurturing and safe environments for their children. PCANC is dedicated to making sure North Carolina’s professionals have the most effective and up-to-date tools possible to prevent child abuse and neglect before it occurs. Our workshops, trainings, and webinars are based on the latest information, research, and strategies to strengthen families, increase protective factors, and ensure all children thrive. Research indicates that program outcomes improve when practitioners receive ongoing support, including technical assistance prior to, during, and after implementation. PCANC is dedicated to providing support for quality implementation of Circle of Parents, The Incredible Years (IY) BASIC Pre-School, and Strengthening Families Program 6-11. Our Prevention Network is an affiliation of agencies and individuals who are invested in developing safe, stable, nurturing relationships for all North Carolina children. Member organizations and individuals are committed to preventing child abuse and neglect by strengthening and supporting families in their communities. We also offer tools and resources for professionals who work with fathers and for anyone interested in learning more about the importance of fathers in children's lives. DATA-DRIVEN PCANC uses data to select and implement programs, recommend policies that support the prevention of child abuse and neglect, and to monitor our progress towards expected outcomes. Additionally, it is vital that as innovative approaches and practices emerge, they are explored, and evidence is built to support their successful growth and replication in these cases PCANC is committed to using data to build the evidence base. PARTNERSHIPS Prevention happens in partnership. We know no single agency is responsible for prevention and that everyone has a role to play. We also believe in the Six Principles of Partnership: Everyone desires respect; Everyone needs to be heard; Everyone has strengths; Judgments can wait; Partners share power; Partnership is a process. We aim to partner with families, communities, funders, and our sister agencies that support and strengthen families.
