by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Safe, stable, and nurturing relationships (SSNRs) are essential to prevent child maltreatment (CM) and to assure that children reach their full potential.This book proposes strategies that communities (“communities” refers to any group with shared interests such as neighborhoods, counties, states, and professional groups) can consider to promote the types of relationships and environments that help children grow up to be healthy and productive citizens so that they, in turn, can build stronger and safer families and communities for their children.
