CTF Funded Projects
The Children’s Trust Fund has joined with the
Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, the West Virginia
Department of Health and Human Resources, and the the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to fund
the Partners in Prevention project, which is administered
by Prevent Child Abuse West Virginia.
Partners in Prevention is based on the belief that
child well-being hinges on the capacity of local communities
to support families and protect children. More than
20 community teams are participating in Partners in
Prevention. Each is implementing one or more local projects
and together involve more than 300 partners from diverse
groups. In their first year, the community teams provided
face-to-face services and training to more than 10,000
children, parents, staff, volunteers and concerned citizens.
Partners in Prevention directly funds projects in communities
across the state. The funding, and the projects, remain
in West Virginia.
Partners in Prevention and the Children’s Trust
Fund makes possible projects that offer:
- Increased
community and professional understanding of how to
keep children free from child abuse and neglect in
Fayette County.
- Programs
such as “Parents as Teachers” which works
with new parents by offering in-home family education.
- Education
to faith communities to assist them in supporting
families.
- Parenting
classes in Berkeley, Morgan, and Jefferson Counties,
…and
much more. Click
