DAY 19
You’ve Connected One New Family to the Parenting Resource Center
Together with the American SPCC
🤝
What is your positive impact today?
Today, you’ve connected one new family to the Parenting Resource Center to help provide them with evidence-based parenting guides that they can count on. With this, you’ve helped parents and caregivers experiencing challenges make better-informed choices for their children, prevent them from experiencing trauma, and helped them experience childhoods that they don’t have to heal from. You’ve helped inspire a positive generational cycle empowering the children of one additional family to reach their potential.
💚
Why is your impact important?
More than 7.5 million children were reported as maltreated to a child protective service agency in 2022 alone, while only about 3 million received prevention and post-response services. Even worse, on average, 5 children every day die from child abuse. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Childhood adversity can often be prevented by fostering safe, nurturing, and supportive environments for all.
⚒️
How are we achieving your impact together?
Our impactful partner for today is the American Society for the Positive Care of Children (American SPCC). They are committed to ensuring the well-being and positive development of children and work to support parents and caregivers by providing educational resources, practical tools, and parent coaching programs. They empower families through advocacy, guidance, and access to essential programs, aiming to create happy, healthy childhoods and nurturing homes for every child.
More About the American SPCC
The American Society for the Positive Care of Children was founded in 2011 as a first-of-its-kind organization dedicated solely to the prevention of child maltreatment and raising awareness of the lifelong impacts of adverse childhood experiences. They do so by providing parents with the skills, tools, and educational resources that build their confidence and capacity as caregivers and create more positive childhood experiences. Today, they are providing resources free of charge to over 1,000,000 families.
It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.
– Joyce Maynard; American novelist and journalist
