North Carolina has been able to support selective initiatives for
the prevention of child abuse and neglect. These initiatives provide support for
families and strive towards goals of reducing risks to children, improving
parenting skills, and strengthening social support networks for families. In
addition, certain initiatives seek to bring together national, state, and local
experts to address issues of child abuse and neglect in efforts to educate the
general public and for professional development. This service is provided in all
100 counties.
Cumberland County Agency Mission or Purpose is to provide
supportive service to the vulnerable, such as the blind, the disabled, children,
the elderly, teen parents, and families in crisis.
