What is the CAN Force?

The Minnesota CAN (Child Abuse and Neglect) Prevention Force is a way for all Minnesotans to join together to support families and protect children. Members of the Minnesota CAN Prevention Force commit to take action to prevent child abuse and to share and learn from one another’s experiences in the process. The Minnesota CAN Prevention Force answers the question, “HOW CAN I help end child abuse?"

Here’s how in three steps:

1. Choose what you will do to prevent child abuse and neglect. See lots of ideas at www.pcamn.org.

2. Join the Minnesota CAN Prevention Force. All you have to do to join is say that you will do something to help prevent abuse and neglect.

3. Tell us what happened when you did what you chose to do to help prevent abuse. What was the outcome? Do you think it worked? Or not? We will learn from one another and share our experiences as we go. Post a comment to this blog and let us know what happened.
