A Comprehensive, Community-based Approach to Protecting Children in Des Moines, Henry, Lee & Louisa C

Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPPC) is a community-based approach to child protection. Partnerships work to prevent child abuse, neglect, re-abuse, safely decrease the number of out-of-home placements, and promote timely reunification when children are placed in foster care. The long term focus of the Community Partnerships is to protect children by changing the culture to improve child welfare processes, practices, and policies. We believe:
•Children should be with their own families, whenever possible.
•Families are stronger when all members, including caregivers, are safe from abuse.
•There is no substitute for strong families to ensure that children and youth grow up to be capable adults.
•Families need supportive communities to help them be strong and offer a sense of belonging.
•Children can best be kept safe when families, friends, residents, and organizations work together as partners.
•Services and supports need to be closely linked to communities in which families live.
•Government alone, through the Department of Human Services (DHS) agency, cannot keep children safe from abuse and neglect.
•Efforts to reduce abuse and neglect must be closely linked to broader community initiatives and priorities.

More and more, digital media is part of the everyday life of the entire family, and it’s rapidly changing. While digital media may bring challenges, confusion, and sometimes concern, it’s great to start thinking early about healthy, joyful ways to use media as a tool — and as a family — to connect, learn, and relax!

October is Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month. Giving your child the tools to recognize bullying and know where to turn if they experience it or see it happening is one of the most helpful things you can do to support your child in this area, and if your child is the bully, we also have tips on what might be behind it and how you can respond:
