The Institute for Community Collaborative Studies (ICCS) held an Office of Child Abuse Prevention funded conference focused on Prevention and the Pathway to the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. This event took place at California State University, Monterey Bay and was co-sponsored by Strategies.
This conference shared knowledge from two of our country’s most respected educators, researchers and program innovators, Lisbeth Schorr (Harvard University) and Larry W. Green (University of California, San Francisco).They presented their vision of prevention principles to stimulate program strategies and innovations, so you can apply them in your community.
Special workshops were created to present the work of leading research, policy and program designers who addressed issues of minority youth and over-representation, and goals of strengthening families and children, family economic success and community wellness, all areas that contribute to prevention.
Additionally, the Pathway to the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect developed at Harvard University by Vicky Marchand and Lisbeth Schorr was presented with goal-oriented workshops facilitated by ICCS and Strategies. These workshops provided goal-directed outcomes, researched practices and action ideas for developing program and countywide prevention plans.
