| Summary |
| Take Time first received funding as a media campaign, a parent education curriculum, and teacher training project. Subsequently, the project expanded through the addition of family resource specialists to work with elementary school children at the site and to develop outreach services for their parents. This current expansion will add resource specialists at the participating Head Start sites. The goals of this project are to provide early intervention for children who have experienced or are at risk of maltreatment; to conduct parent education and train teachers about child abuse effects and risk factors; and to promote community awareness of child abuse and neglect problems. |
