                      - 		Strengthening Families and Communities: 2011 Resource Guide, a guide to help service providers strengthen families by promoting key protective factors that prevent abuse.
                      - 		Tip sheets to distribute to parents and caregivers to address a particular parenting concern or question. Each tip sheet is available in English and Spanish.
                      - 		An activities calendar using the Five Protective Factors. The calendar provides child welfare professionals with activities they can do with families throughout the month that support children and families.
                      - 		Prevention Month widgets to post on your website.
                      - 		A video explaining how Child Welfare Information Gateway helps connect professionals with information and resources on preventing child abuse and neglect.
