A  collaboration of Los Angeles County public agencies

that serve urban Indians is delivering a state-wide initiative of child

abuse prevention to the Indian community. The Partnerships for Families

program is designed to provide the needs of pregnant women and

families with children age five years or younger who are at risk for

child maltreatment in Los Angeles County.

American Indian Families Partnership promotes the prevention of

child maltreatment by assisting high risk Indian families to live in

physically and emotionally safe environments.

Southern California Indian Center, Inc. is the fiscal agent for this newly

developed county-wide program. The American Indian Families Partnership

 is a joint effort of existing native, and non-native service agencies

serving the County of Los Angeles.
