The 2020-2025 Louisiana Children's Trust Fund State Plan for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect has been released. The new guide will be in place for five years. It will offer updated statistics, general information on child abuse and neglect prevention, regional data and findings, and funding recommendations. The statewide and regional information was determined through a region-by-region series of focus groups, survey data and interviews. This will be the first year that the LCTF grant funding recommendations will be universal for the state and it will be dependent on the use of regional data to create plans that will be specific for the area to be served.
