Protecting children and strengthening families takes more than individual efforts.

It requires collaboration, accessible resources, and a shared commitment to ensuring every child has the support they need. Last month, our FAIR team attended the 2026 Georgia Conference on Child Abuse Prevention, themed “Collective Care in the Storm.” Through workshops on strengthening partnerships between schools and child advocacy centers, identifying accessibility barriers, and improving access to resources, our team explored ways to better support children and families. These lessons reinforce our work to help families overcome barriers to education and ensure students remain safe, supported, and engaged in school. Families shouldn't have to navigate challenges alone. If your child is facing school discipline, special education, or enrollment challenges, Georgia Appleseed can help you understand your options and access support.
