Building a State of Hope

Your actions nurture a community where everyone can thrive.

The Belonging for Hope website is home to public health prevention campaigns and related resources from the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services Prevention and Community Support Section (PCS).

These campaigns build on PCS efforts to help make every community a place where all children grow up safe, people can provide for those they love, and families receive the care and support they deserve.

Child- and family-serving professionals and organizations, as well as program administrators and facilitators, are invited to use campaign materials in outreach and communications.

Evidence shows our combined efforts at the community level encourage strong families, healthy childhoods, and thriving neighborhoods. Also, actions that promote safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments help prevent early adversity and promote resilience.

Everyone plays a role in helping prevent child abuse and neglect for the well-being of their community.

Georgia’s State of Hope initiative is part of this larger movement.

What you do, day after day, gives hope for everyone. Join the journey. Find a campaign right for your program today.
