The Community-Based Prevention Grants Family Strengthening Continuum is a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families that funds organizations providing training and technical assistance to strengthen child welfare prevention systems statewide.

The program supports work across the three-level prevention continuum: primary prevention connecting families to community resources, secondary prevention addressing family needs before maltreatment occurs, and tertiary prevention supporting families where maltreatment has occurred to prevent recurrence and family separation.

Awards of $200,000 support capacity-building organizations that can help communities and local agencies implement evidence-based prevention strategies for child and family well-being.

Prevention Continuum | Child Welfare Information Gateway Prevention-focused child welfare agencies partner with communities and other systems to provide services that prevent maltreatment and family separation, strengthen families’ capacity to thrive, and promote children’s well-being.

The prevention framework describes prevention as occurring along a three-level continuum: Primary prevention connects families to needed resources and supports within their community. Secondary prevention provides families with services to address family needs and prevent child abuse and neglect.

Tertiary prevention services are provided to families in which child maltreatment has already occurred with the goal of preventing recurrence and to avoid family separation. The ideal approach to prevention within a community encompasses all three levels and includes tailored, equitable services to halt unnecessary separations of children and parents and improve their outcomes.

Prevention services should address power imbalances between families and agencies, value family input, and prioritize community-centered and culturally responsive services. The Family First Prevention Services Act provides funding for evidence-based prevention services to build the capacity of communities to support families.
