Kids on the Block
The Family Nurturing Center works to end the cycle of child abuse by promoting individual well-being and healthy family relationships by providing a comprehensive array of programs and services designed to help children and families in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
A Dater grant provided funding for ther Kids on the Block Program, a comprehensive approach to educate children and adults on issues of child abuse. This school base prevention service is designed to increase public awareness about the problem of child abuse and equip children with the skills to recognize and report child abuse. The Kids on the Block Program on Bullying and School Safety has been developed to educate children about what constitutes bullying, promote sensitivity toward peers, provide specific strategies to make schools a safer place, and help children avoid or cope with bad situations.
