Greenville First Steps is excited to announce the receipt of a $25,000 grant from The Hollingsworth Funds for our Pinwheels for Prevention initiative: Project Pinwheel. We are excited to help spread the word about the child abuse prevention protective factors. Protective factors are conditions in families and communities that, when present, increase the health and well-being of children and families. They are attributes that serve as buffers, helping parents who might otherwise be at risk of abusing their children to find resources, supports, or coping strategies that allow them to parent effectively, even under stress.
