Have you ever seen a caregiver or a child struggling in public and didn't know what to do?
Support Over Silence is an innovative, evidence-based program that gives bystanders a new way of supporting families without judgement or shame.
The program functions as a primary prevention strategy to reduce the risk of child maltreatment while promoting positive, connected caregiving in everyday public spaces.
The program was developed by a team of experts as a call to
action, equipping community members with the skills to confidently
support caregivers and children during challenging moments. It
promotes a new, judgment-free approach to shifting community
culture-helping organizations, hospitals, schools, and neighbors
create environments where families feel supported, even in their most
difficult
moments.
