About This Hub
Local action teams inspired by Anna, Age Eight know there is no shortage of programs and policies that can help prevent child maltreatment and trauma—but they also know they do not need to start from scratch or reinvent the wheel. This hub offers a focused set of examples to help you move from "we have a problem" to "here are specific local solutions we can adapt." It accompanies the course Anna's Story: Preventing Child Maltreatment and Trauma and is designed to help 100% New Mexico action teams turn course learning into local solutions.
