CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT PREVENTION
Children’s
lives are shaped by their experiences, including what happens in their
environment such as home, school and neighborhood. The types of relationships
they have with parents, teachers and other caregivers matter too. Healthy
relationships and environments are necessary to ensure the physical and
emotional well-being of children.
