Today, on #WearBlueDay2024, we hosted a Pinwheel Planting ceremony in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month. Thank you to @PCANC and @ncdhhs for their dedication to this cause.
The Governor's Mansion will be lit blue tonight to commemorate this month.
In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month we encourage you to check out the Positive Childhood Alliance and its resources @PCANC https://t.co/zD3lJ8zjQn as we all work together to look out for and uplift the children in our state.
Infants, toddlers & families should have what they need to thrive. The US House passed a bill expanding & enhancing the Child Tax Credit (CTC) which supports family economic security. Now we need the Senate to pass it too. #CTC#ChildTaxCredit Click here: https://t.co/eCKFYXiLmt
Child welfare is expensive today & downstream. The great news is that concrete #economicsupports reduce #CPS and #fostercare cases. That makes good economic sense and means more children can grow up safe, healthy and thriving. That is good policy. @PCANC
“Providing stable incomes and concrete financial supports can reduce the load on families across North Carolina,” - @PCANC_CEO

Parents can parent better when the entire community lends a hand. We all have a stake in #NurturingPositiveChildhoods and ensuring children & families have the support they need to thrive. Learn how we're nurturing positive childhoods. https://t.co/S9SGwM012C
“The solutions have focused on recruiting foster parents and paying them more. But we’re curious. What if the narrative is starting from the wrong place? What if we’re not asking the right questions?” https://t.co/rvlNe4nkJV @PCANC#fostercare#neglect#Economics
"This is the job of us as a society. It requires a reconceptualization of who we are as a society and which interventions we deploy when, and how. We can reorient and focus on child and family well-being as a set of solutions." - @ClareAnderson16@Chapin_Hall
@Chapin_Hall@ClareAnderson16 Over half of all Black children experience a CPS investigation in the US. “It has become a normative experience,” says @ClareAnderson16, adding that this is in large part due to policy choices. @Chapin_Hall
Thank you to @NCIOM for inviting me to share about the role of federal nutrition programs like #SNAP and #WIC as providing economic supports that are critical to child and family well being! @ncdhhs#essentialsforchildhood
Ending a great day of talking #EssentialsforChildhood with remarks from Sharon Hirsch of @PCANC. @PCANC_CEO says, “We have proven policy options - our challenge is to come together to build economic supports for families so more NC children can be healthy, contributing citizens.”
Thank you so much to @RedwoodsGroup for having our @PCANC_CEO on the latest episode of the "Staffing, Safety, Society" podcast to discuss An Upstream Approach to Child Abuse Prevention!
