about Ohio County Partners in prevention

Ohio County Partners in Prevention (PIP) is one of 52 community teams across the State of WV. Through community projects, educational resources, and referrals for services, PIP aims to strengthen families, educate the public, advocate for children, and champion family-friendly communities in order to reduce child maltreatment. OCPIP also holds an annual conference with varying topics depending on the needs of the community.

As outlined by TEAM for West Virginia Children, the goals of PIP Teams are to:

Raise awareness about the prevention of child abuse and neglect
Develop and expand effective services that prevent or reduce child maltreatment
Inform policymakers about best practices in the prevention of child abuse and neglect

April is annually recognized as Child Abuse Prevention Month, but the Ohio County PIP team is committed to offering a variety of informational sessions and community projects year-round to bring awareness to child abuse and neglect and help build strong familial foundations in the community.

Team for wv innovation grant- girls on the run

TEAM for WV, thanks to funds made available through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), in partnership with the WV Department of Human Services (WV DoHS), has awarded an “Innovation Grant” to the Ohio County Family Resource Network to advance our efforts in addressing the ongoing need for prevention in our local middle schools.

Girls on the Run is a nationally accredited program which incorporates the importance of confidence and physical exercise. Through the Innovation Grant and support from Girls on the Run (North Central West Virginia), the Ohio County Family Resource Network has begun a Girls on the Run team at Bridge Street Middle School.

Starting in 2025, Wheeling Middle School will begin a new Girls on the Run team with help from the Ohio County FRN.
