Prayers We Practice
A key ingredient in the creation and preservation of safe environments for children is a partnership between parents/caregivers, schools, and the community where everyone is working together to ensure their wellbeing.
In support of these efforts, I would like to introduce you to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Office for Child and Youth Protection's (OCYP) new Parent Resource Guidebook. This single source of information is designed for adults who want to protect the children in their lives from child abuse. It answers the questions, what do I need to know about child abuse to protect my child? And what should I do if I suspect my child has been abused? In addition, it includes important information about the factors at the heart of all successful prevention efforts in the home, along with practical information for implementing these ideas.
You can download the guide with the following link. Alternatively, you can download it from OCYP’s website at www.childyouthprotection.org under Resources for Parents.
As always, the Office for Child and Youth Protection are here if you have any questions or concerns.
Your Partner in Prevention,
Leslie J. Davila, M.S.
Director, Office for Child and Youth Protection
