As announced during?Child?Abuse Prevention Month in April, the?Office?of?Child?and?Family?Services and the Maine Children?s Trust are pleased to announce the fourth in our series of?Child?Abuse Prevention webinars to continue the conversation about the role that everyone has, and strategies that we can all implement, to help keep children in Maine safe.? As a reminder, these webinars are being held the first Tuesday of every other month at 10 a.m.

*Next Webinar Date:*?*Tuesday,* *December 6, 2022, from 10 a.m.?to 11 a.m. via Zoom*

*Topic: Front Porch Project of Maine, Offering Support as a?Child?Abuse Prevention Strategy ?*

Description:? As we heard in our?Child?Abuse Prevention Webinar series to date, the presence of protective factors for youth and families is a strength in preventing?child?abuse and neglect. In our last webinar, we learned about cultivating youth mattering as well as the strategies that we can all employ to enhance youth resilience as a?child?abuse prevention strategy. At our December webinar, we will be sharing more information about the Front Porch Project of Maine, a statewide effort and resource to?learn how to support child and family well-being in your community using?the protective factor framework.??We will also discuss an upcoming opportunity for participants to talk about the prevention efforts happening in their community and across the state in an effort to share resources and highlight all of your work. ?

Participants will be able to:


* Learn how?the Front Porch Project supports individuals and communities in reducing child abuse and neglect by offering caregiver support.
* Gain a practical understanding of how connecting with others, especially in times of stress, decreases isolation and builds relationships that fosters the idea that it's okay to ask for and receive help.?
* Learn about local Front Porch Project efforts and how to get involved.?
* Hear how your prevention efforts can be highlighted at the next webinar in our prevention series in February 2023.?
