Description:      

The Pathway organizes what we know about what works to prevent child abuse and neglect into a framework, which in combination with local wisdom, can help policy makers, funders, and community decision makers to act effectively.

Abstract:

The Pathway assembles a wealth of findings from research, practice, theory, and policy about what it takes to prevent child abuse and neglect and promote family well-being.  The Pathway’s framework offers an approach for comprehensive planning to guide focused, effective action.  The Pathway provides a starting point for  grappling with hard trade-offs and working to build the connections and infrastructure necessary to sustain change.  Workshop participants will discuss how information about what works can contribute to their efforts and strategize about how to respond to common obstacles to acting on what we know.
