Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina

Description

We are a state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America with a thriving statewide Prevention Network. Our Prevention Network consisting of over 250 organizations and professionals working to implement family strengthening programs in their local communities.

Our Vision is that All North Carolina's children will lead purposeful lives through growing up in nurturing families and supportive communities.

The impact of child maltreatment is far greater than its immediate, visible effects. Early experiences in a child's life can affect their development and have consequences that last years, even lifetimes. Children do well when their parents do well. And parents do better when they live in communities that actively support families.

Effective child abuse prevention must be woven into the fabric of our communities--into the structure of our schools, hospitals, places of work, communities of faith, and childcare facilities. Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina is leading the effort to prevent abuse before it happens by developing family-oriented, community-based prevention, awareness, education, and training programs.
