Welcome to the new Neighborhood Place of Puna website.
Neighborhood Place of Puna is a small non-profit with an important mission, preventing child abuse and neglect. Our staff is passionate about helping families raise safe and healthy children.
While the majority of the work we do is in the home, with families, it is important for us as an agency to engage the community in the work of building strong communities that support strong families.
In the 21st century engaging the community involves social media and a dynamic web presence; hence the new website. Our site in now fully integrated with our social media outreach, calendar, and blog. Through our various postings and outreach, families can find parenting resources and tips, inspiring messages, and links to the many events in our community.
As a community member, you may discover little ways that you can help local families be successful in raising safe and healthy children.
We all play a role in preventing child abuse and neglect, whether that means educating yourself and your community about child abuse and neglect, helping a neighbor who is overwhelmed by their parenting responsibilities or supporting an organization like Neighborhood Place of Puna.
