Join New Allies to learn how Youth Villages’ New Allies and state and public library partners across the Commonwealth of Kentucky designed and piloted new prevention services. Youth Villages, a primary prevention services provider, and New Allies, an external facing consulting arm pursuing systems change, are working with Dr. Beth Wahler, a social work library consultant, and partnering with state departments and public libraries across Kentucky to pilot primary prevention services delivered via novel library programming. Libraries consistently serve their communities well: they often provide primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention services, even without support, guidance, or resources for this work; and, by offering free, publicly available resources, they serve many under-resourced individuals or at-risk groups. When provided with technical assistance and support, libraries are well-poised to help advance child abuse and prevention efforts in communities everywhere. In 2024, with help from a generous philanthropic partner and partnerships with the Kentucky teammates, New Allies rolled out the Stories of Support project throughout the state of Kentucky, providing resources and support to public libraries to pilot time-limited projects that aim to reduce child abuse and neglect. The collaboration illuminates the changing needs of libraries and emerging trends in social work interactions with libraries, and the funded projects provide easily replicable models of programming innovations. This session will showcase funded projects and present lessons learned from co-designing this new collaboration with library and child welfare practitioners and implementing across the state, community, and provider levels. Our Stories of Support strengthen everyone’s Insights for Impact.
