Prevention Roles & Actions

You play a role for everyone you know. Your actions have an impact, especially on children. 

How Can You Help Everyone Belong? 

The unique actions you take can nurture a community where everyone can thrive. Make your community stronger and more nurturing — where all children grow up safe, people have jobs and provide for those they love, and families receive the care they deserve. It’s a place where everyone belongs.

Please modify your actions during the Coronavirus outbreak. You can practice physical distancing by keeping at least six feet from people and gathering in groups of less than 10. You can still support your community and protect your health and everyone else’s at the same time.
