"State health departments can promote and enhance child maltreatment prevention efforts and make a lasting difference in countless lives. The information and resources on this site can help your department get off the ground."
"We have created this site because state health departments can play a leading role in child maltreatment prevention through programs and services that enhance family resiliency and foster positive child development. With public health infrastructure existing in every state and territory within the United States, the public health system is well-positioned to create a prevention system for children and families."

[The second video "The Promise of Prevention" (13 min) is a must-watch.]
This Child Maltreatment Prevention module is one of several modules on the VetoViolence web portal. VetoViolence was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide grantees and partners with access to training and tools that focus on the primary prevention of violence. The portal includes free training, program planning resources, and an on-line application for the creation of success stories. There are additional modules/tools for Suicide Prevention, Sexual Violence Prevention, Youth Violence Prevention, and Intimate Partner Violence Prevention. The portal will continue to evolve as additional resources are added.
The VetoViolence web portal has been added to our Trauma-Informed Toolkits page.
