Morgan County Family Connection

Grateful for our partners
means we can’t do it without you! THANK
YOU for helping to raise awareness during Child Abuse Prevention
Month. But prevention efforts don’t just happen in April, stay involved with us all year long by visiting tinyurl.com/CAPmonthGA.

Family-supporting policies significantly reduce child abuse and
neglect rates. Here are three examples:
● Each additional month of childcare subsidy for low-income
mothers correlates with a 16% decrease in neglect reports and
a 14% decrease in physical abuse reports.
● Generous SNAP policies lead to fewer CPS reports.
● A 5% increase in families receiving SNAP benefits is linked to an
8% to 14% reduction in CPS and foster care caseloads.
