Social Connections are more important than ever...

Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky knows social connections are key to preventing child abuse and neglect. To help make staying connected despite physical distance a little easier, we have developed this "Hey Neighbor!" Card Give this to your neighbor, a family who just moved in or someone you may think needs encouragement. We are all in this together. For resources for families, professionals and tips for self-care during this time, click here.

If you are an educator looking for ways to stay engaged with your students during times of physical distancing, download our Educator's Resource Toolkit designed specifically for you.

Count Me In Kentucky! 

The results of the 2020 Census are critically important because this once-a-decade census data helps businesses, researchers, and communities make decisions. The data can help inform where your community needs a new fire department, more funding for school lunches, or new roads.  This Public Service Announcement by the U.S. Census Bureau shows how census data helps inform funding for things that impact our communities. Check out our joint op-ed with Kentucky Youth Advocates here.
