📢 Calling all San Francisco family, children & parent-serving providers and system leaders!

Join us in this upcoming webinar where we ensure we connect families to the case management they need. San Francisco has a robust foundation of family support, but the landscape is often a "maze" of fragmented services. This webinar's guiding question is: How do we ensure family support case management programs work together as a team for families, rather than in silos or in competition with one another?

📅 Wednesday, June 10th
🕛️ 12pm-1pm
💻️ Virtual

✨ We had so much fun holding the Celebration of Parenthood last month during !! Having parents, caregivers, and families gather together reminded us that it truly takes all of us to prevent child abuse and support families in our community. 💙 Our work continues every day, and events like this are a beautiful reminder of the power we have when we come together.

✨️ Safe & Sound was highlighted in the Spring 2026 edition of the Haas School of Business - UC Berkeley Alumni Magazine, which features the story of our work with UC Berkeley Haas who helped develop a methodology to analyze the cost of child abuse in San Francisco and turn complex data into actionable strategies.

Huge appreciation to our partners at Haas and to our friends and community who believe in building safer futures for children and families. 💛

🔴 $333 million dollars. 🔴 That's how much child abuse and neglect can cost San Francisco in 2025 — across healthcare, child welfare, criminal justice, and a lifetime of lost potential for 431 children.

When we invest in family support services, we build the conditions that prevent abuse and neglect before they start — and we spend less, save more, and keep children safer.

Safe & Sound CEO Dr. Pegah Faed reminds us: "Too often, families are pulled into costly systems when what they really need is support, such as stable housing, child care, or mental health services. Prevention is not just the morally right thing to do, it's the fiscally responsible choice."

San Francisco's numbers tell us where we've been. Prevention is how we change where we're going! 📊 Explore the full SF data at https://safeandsound.org/why-we-do-it/the-economics-of-abuse/california-impacts/
