Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and nurturing family environment. Yet, millions of children around the world continue to experience violence, neglect, and abuse — often within the very settings meant to protect them. Research shows that strong, supportive parenting is one of the most effective ways to prevent child abuse and promote children’s healthy development.
This webinar will explore how parenting support can serve as a powerful tool for prevention of child abuse and maltreatment. Drawing on global evidence and practical experiences from diverse contexts, the session will highlight how evidence-based parenting programs are helping families build positive relationships, manage stress, and reduce the use of harsh discipline — thereby preventing abuse before it occurs.
The presentation will also address the growing global movement to make parenting support accessible to all families, showcasing successful interventions and partnerships that have reached millions of parents and caregivers. Participants will gain insight into what works, why it works, and how governments, civil society, and international organizations can collaborate to ensure every child is safe, supported, and able to thrive.
