CPC Receives $5,000 Grant

Coconut Telegraph

The Harold C. and Jacqueline F. Bladel Foundation awarded Child Protection Center’s Personal Safety and Community Awareness Program (PSCA) $5,000 to provide primary prevention and educational programs on child maltreatment throughout the community.  The ultimate goal of this multifaceted program is to eliminate child abuse through educational programs for children, parents and community members. Workshops are designed to introduce children to basic personal safety information, promote pro–social behaviors and teach self–protective skills, all of which reduce a child’s vulnerability to abuse and exploitation.  Strategies to effectively respond to threats of physical or sexual abuse, abduction, bullying, harassment or dangers online are taught during these lessons.
