WHAT WE DO
PRIMARY PREVENTION | We know strengthening families through resilience, parenting education, basic supports, and knowledge of children’s social and emotional development drastically reduces the occurrence of child abuse and neglect.
​
We call that PRIMARY PREVENTION and increasing family access to Protective Factors, like those above, is what makes it work.

ECONOMIC & CONCRETE SUPPORTS FOR NH FAMILIES | The Children's Trust recently launched a new project in partnership with the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and the NH Family Resource Center Network, and with support from Baby2Baby to strengthen family protective factors, by providing concrete supports in times of need.
​
FAMILY SUPPORT NEW HAMPSHIRE | New Hampshire Children’s Trust (NHCT) provides support, coordination, training, and technical assistance for the implementation of operational and quality control standards for NH’s network of Family Resource Centers (FRCs).
In partnership with FRCs, NHCT works to promote evidence-based programming, developing mechanisms for cross-network collaboration, monitoring progress, centralizing data collection and analysis, and guiding the implementation of Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening and Support and Family Resource Center of Quality (FRC-Q) designation process.
​
KINSHIP NAVIGATION | Throughout New Hampshire a growing number of grandparents, family members, and close family friends are stepping up to raise children whose biological parents are unable to care for them. These kinship caregivers provide safe and nurturing environments for children, but often experience significant challenges in their caretaking role.
In response, New Hampshire Children’s Trust and New Hampshire’s network of Family Resource Centers have partnered to support kinship families through the statewide Kinship Navigation Program.
​
The Children's Trust is committed to preventing child abuse and neglect before it happens. Our initiatives are informed by practices that enable children, families, and communities to thrive. ​Learn more about our programming HERE.
