That’s why we need home visiting and parenting education for all in North Carolina! #FamilySupportNC #ThinkBabiesNC

Home visiting & parenting education programs help to build protective factors that
✅ reduce the risk of abuse and neglect
✅ strengthen family relationships
✅ promote children’s healthy development.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the legacy of leaders who fought for economic justice and continue advocating for policies that strengthen families and create a more equitable future for all—especially those who have been left behind.

When families have access to stable employment, fair wages, and critical resources like child tax credits and paid family leave, they are better able to provide their children with what they need to live purposeful lives, filled with positive experiences and endless hope for the future.

Their work laid the foundation for policies that strengthen household financial stability—a proven way to reduce risk factors for child abuse and neglect. At Positive Childhood Alliance NC, we know that economic support is essential for children’s well-being.

Parenting education programs can help parents learn skills to mitigate stress, offer supports and social connections, and increase knowledge of child development – all of which helps to prevent child abuse and neglect.

This month, we’ll highlight the contributions of Black leaders, past and present, whose contributions have helped create stronger, more supportive communities and a brighter, more equitable future for all children and families.  

Join us in celebrating these changemakers throughout the month!

Equity is at the core of our work at Positive Childhood Alliance North Carolina—we believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.
