Rolla
CTF License Plate Marketing Partner

Utilizes funds from sale of the CTF specialty prevent child abuse license plate to support three prevention projects:  Healthy Families; Mentoring Makes a Difference; and the Phelps County Child Advocacy Network’s (PCCAN) small grant program.  The Healthy Families program provides home visitation services to young and at-risk moms through the Phelps County Health Department.  A nurse and/or social worker will work with at-risk families both prenatally and up to the child’s third birthday.  The Mentoring Makes a Difference program, implemented by Prevention Consultants of Missouri, provides one-on-one mentoring for up to 50 at-risk children.  PCCAN’s small grant program will provide community grants for other local child abuse prevention projects.
