Reaching Those Affected by Family Violence and Neglect:
Annual Investment of $1.6 million in 11 programs.

Prevention and intervention make all the difference. These programs reach children affected by neglect, family violence, parental drug and alcohol use and homelessness. They also support stressed families most at-risk for abuse and neglect by providing intensive case management, therapy, counseling, respite care and parent education.

Research shows that programs providing multiple support systems that ease family stress are most effective in preventing family violence, abuse and neglect.

Our Progress: The families involved with programs supported by the Children’s Investment Fund report a reduction in the number of child abuse referrals and incidents. The programs also increased the number of homeless youth completing drug and alcohol treatment and improved family relationships and classroom behavior for youth in foster care.
