St. Charles
Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Training for Head Start Home Visitors
This project trains Head Start and Early Head Start home visitors in the research-based Conscious Discipline Curriculum with families at-risk for child abuse and/or neglect. Based on the promising child abuse prevention models of home-based services, home visitation, parent education and early childhood programming, this project is intended to be a secondary prevention project due to the high incidence of risk factors among families enrolled in Head Start and Early Head Start programs in the counties of St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren and Montgomery. Specific risk factors include poverty, childhood disability, young maternal age and family stress.
