Group wants to help prevent child abuse

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and this month and throughout the year the Alabama Department of Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention (ADCANP) encourages all individuals and organizations to help in making the State of Alabama a better place for children and families.

By ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to care for their children, we can help promote children’s social and emotional well-being and prevent child mistreatment within families and communities.

“April is a time to celebrate the important role that communities play in protecting children,” said Sallye Longshore, Executive Director. “Everyone’s participation is critical.”

Funding is available to those agencies that administer programs in their area to prevent child abuse and neglect. Grant Applications are available on their website at ctf.alabama.gov. Funding will be awarded to eligible entities through a competitive grant process for organizations seeking to establish programs that prevent child abuse and neglect in their respective areas. The Department has also released the Request for Proposal on the Department’s website which provides all regulatory requirements and a timeline of related expectations.
