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.
Find Help!
Connect families to available resources in your community.
This resource, powered by FindHelp.org (previously Aunt Bertha), is a nationwide online directory to help individuals connect with resources and services in their community. Through a zip code search, the site provides information on local food or housing programs, health and care services, financial help, education and work programs, and legal services.
The information about providers and services included in this resource directory does not constitute an endorsement on the part of Prevent Child Abuse West Virginia. Always seek the advice of qualified professionals regarding your physical and mental health as well as legal questions or concerns you may have.

The TEAM for West Virginia Children was pleased to again partner with Mountain Health Network for the 2022 Service to Children Award. This year we honored the healthcare workers who cared for hospitalized children with COVID during the past couple of years. Children with COVID from our region were housed at Hoops Family Children’s Hospital. For more information about our Service to Children Award, you may click here.

Please consider donating today.
For those of you just learning about the TEAM, please take a minute to view this very short video.
