Child abuse prevention

Join our efforts to prevent child abuse 

Child abuse and neglect are devastating problems in our society. They can cause long-term physical and mental health problems for children. Through our child abuse prevention work, we help ensure a safe environment for children and educate professionals and the public.

The only true way to wipe out child abuse is by keeping it from happening in the first place.
