Social Current and Prevent Child Abuse America recently teamed up with the FrameWorks Institute to develop fresh, powerful framing strategies around childhood adversity. The resulting recommendations were released in a new strategic brief in February 2021, Reframing Childhood Adversity: Promoting Upstream Approaches, and presented in a webinar that drew more than 3,000 attendees.
The strategic brief calls for childhood adversity, including abuse and neglect, to be framed as a public issue, a preventable problem, and a solvable problem. To build support for policies and strategies needed to ensure that every child grows up in a safe, stable, and nurturing environment, our framing needs to widen the lens to include the factors that shape those environments. The story we tell must also spark a sense of collective responsibility and offer a sense of hope.
This webinar will address why this reframing is important, include a detailed look at the reframing recommendations, and advance a discussion about the utility of these recommendations to the philanthropic community.
