Description

C1 - Shared Responsibility for Child Safety and Family Well-Being: A Public-Private Partnership Effort

This presentation introduces participants to Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPPC), a public-private collaborative effort in Southern Maine focused on strengthening families and communities by improving the ways multi-sector partners share responsibility to promote the safety and well-being of children and youth. The strategy includes parents and youth as partners, nurtures meaningful partnerships among community members, and works directly in neighborhoods where families experience a lack of resources and supports. The CPPC approach encourages local innovation that removes systems barriers. Established in a single community in 2006, the pilot continues to grow and has shown promising results.

Presenters: Debra Dunlap, Tiffany Greco and Jamie Brooks, Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPPC) Southern Maine, South Portland, ME; and Bobbi Johnson, Maine Office of Child and Family Services, Augusta, ME
