Donor & Prevention Campaigns

SFSK posterThe Children’s Trust Fund (CTF) engages in public education campaigns to heighten the awareness and importance of child abuse and neglect prevention.

CTF’s donor campaigns promote general awareness of CTF, the sale of its specialty license plate and the tax check-off program.

The prevention campaigns focus on the importance of prevention, Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) prevention, safe sleep environments, positive parenting, emotional child abuse and neglect prevention, the dangers of leaving children unattended in or around vehicles, realistic expectations of children and dealing with stress.

CTF continues to look for public education opportunities that work in conjunction with statewide prevention programs to promote child resiliency and reduce risk of child abuse and neglect.

Safety Tips for Home Visitors in Methamphetamine Environments
