Note from Our Director
Dear Partners,

We are dedicated to continued collaboration with our child safety partners to address social determinants of health and promote health equity.

With our strong commitment to health equity, CSN and Children’s Safety Now Alliance (CSN-A) partners, City MatCH and the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevention (NCRFP), will present on “Applying an Equity Lens to Child Safety” at AMCHP on August 5th from 5 to 6pm ET. CSN is also partnering with NCFRP to develop and pilot a health equity environmental scan for states.

Throughout this newsletter, you will find resources from our CSN-A partners highlighted in purple.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Leonardo, PhD
Children’s Safety Network Director
New CSN Resource: Child Maltreatment Prevention Resource Guide
Child maltreatment (including sexual, physical and emotional abuse) and neglect are serious public health problems which can be prevented. These adverse childhood experiences, resulting in harm, the potential for harm, or threat of harm among children under the age of 18 can be perpetrated by a parent, caregiver, or another person in a custodial role (such as a religious leader, a coach, a teacher). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 1,770 U. S. children died of abuse and neglect in 2018 and at least 1 in 7 children experienced abuse and neglect in the past year.

CSN has produced this resource guide to provide a list of resources for child maltreatment prevention to help state health departments expand and enhance their own child maltreatment prevention efforts. The resource guide is divided into five sections: Organizations; Data Sources, Data and Definitions; Policies, Laws and Legislation; Programs, Campaigns and Resources; and Publications.
