Goal
4: Safety and stability will be at the heart of every
family.
No
matter how young or how old, if we're to thrive -- physically,
mentally, emotionally -- we need to feel safe and nurtured
in our own homes. Infants who are not held, stroked, and
talked to fail to develop normally. Growing children and
teens need a secure home base from which to explore the
world. Adults, too, need the support and balance that
friends and family provide. For now, however, we limit
our measures to two of the most detrimental aspects of
family life in America – spousal and child abuse.
Targets
Spouse/Partner
Abuse
Child Abuse/Neglect
