The Building Blocks to
Strong Communities |
|
|
| |
Healthy children and families are the
building blocks to strong communities. Research shows that
when children and their parents are connected to the right
supports, communities benefit: children do better at home
and at school, are less likely to engage in risky behaviors,
and are better prepared to transition to adulthood. Parents
in turn can better manage their awesome responsibility—raising
a child—when they are equipped with the knowledge and
skills to promote healthy development. Helping youth avoid
risky sexual behaviors, linking them to supportive mentoring
relationships, and parent education are tested strategies
to strengthen families. |
