This is the final webinar in a three-part series of Public Health Leadership for Child Maltreatment Initiative (PHL)* webinars highlighting strategies and tools for state public health departments to use in addressing child maltreatment prevention.

State health departments can be instrumental in addressing child maltreatment through their work in assuring the health and well-being of children and families. With this in mind, the PHL Initiative has developed a new web-based resources to help state health departments approach child maltreatment prevention in a strategic way and link public health efforts with other state-level child maltreatment prevention initiatives.

This webinar will share:

• A framework for child maltreatment prevention efforts in state health departments that is organized around three core areas:
  • Commitment
  • Resources
  • Collaboration
• Examples of how states can use information and tools to enhance current or planned for initiatives.
• Strategies for states and communities to promote safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments for children.

Facebook Chat

Please join us at 3 PM EDT, immediately following the webinar, for an informative and interactive chat on the Division of Violence Prevention's VetoViolence Facebook page: www.facebook.com/vetoviolence.

CDC staff, state health department staff, and child maltreatment prevention experts will be available to answer questions live. They will also discuss the new tools and resources outlined in the webinar and ways state health departments can implement child maltreatment prevention efforts.
