Partners in Prevention is a unique model of communities working together to strengthen families and help West Virginia’s children grow up free from abuse and neglect. The model is based on the belief that child well-being hinges on the capacity of local communities to support families and protect children.
TEAM for West Virginia Children was proud to honor Geoff Sheils at our 2024 presentation of the Service to Children Award. Click here to read about the event and to see the fun photos.
