Mission Statement
The mission of Prevent Child Abuse Marion County is to help the community at large gain a better understanding of how to help children get their needs met, develop appropriately, & strengthen the capacity of prevent efforts being done in our community.
Description
We are the local volunteer council of the state organization Prevent Child Abuse Indiana.
Prevention Councils are made up of volunteers from all walks of life that bring the message of primary prevention to their communities. This grassroots strategy has proven to be powerfully effective in keeping kids safe.
Prevention Councils don’t get involved in ongoing abuse cases. They don’t investigate allegations of abuse or neglect. They work together to prevent abuse before it starts.
You don’t have to be a social worker, or even have experience working with children. We’re looking for people who understand that child abuse and neglect hurts all of us, and who want to use their skills and abilities to make a difference in their communities. People from all walks of life are involved in Prevention Councils.
