FACTOR Collaborative Meeting

April 27th 11:30am lunch & networking / program begins at noon

PCA Fayette will be presenting "APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH-DID YOU KNOW..."

One tidbit of "Did You Know":
We each play a part in promoting the safety and well-being of children and families in our communities, one of the best strategies for preventing child abuse and neglect. To do this, we need to understand the protective factors that support safety and well-being in families and help parents - who might otherwise be at risk of abusing or neglecting their children - find resources, supports and coping strategies that allow them to parent effectively and protect their children, even under stress.

The following six protective factors have been linked to a lower incidence of child abuse and neglect:

  1. Nurturing and attachment - When parents and children have strong, warm feelings for one another, children develop trust that their parents will provide what they need to thrive.
  2. Knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development - Parents who understand how children grow and develop and know the typical developmental milestones can provide an environment where children can live up to their potential. 
  3. Parental resilience - Parents who are emotionally resilient have a positive attitude, creatively problem solve, effectively address challenges, and are less likely to direct anger and frustration at their children.
  4. Social connections - Trusted and caring family friends provide emotional support to parents by offering encouragement and assistance in facing the daily challenges of raising a family.
  5. Concrete supports for parents - Parents need basic resources such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and access to essential services that address family-specific needs (such as child care, health care, and mental health services) to ensure the health and well-being of their children.
  6.     Social and emotional competence - Children with the ability to positively interact with others, self-regulate their behaviors, and communicate their feelings have relationships that are more positive with family, friends, and peers. Children without these competencies may be at greater risk for abuse.
