WAYS TO HELP

We all have a role to play in preventing child abuse and neglect. Individually, we strive to be better parents and neighbors. As communities, we come together to create safe and healthy environments in which to raise children. Our many local programs, prevention initiatives and events help spread the word in your community, creating awareness that prevention is possible. We are a family of friends, professionals, volunteers, donors and parents who are preventing child abuse and neglect before it ever starts.

There are many ways that you can help prevent child abuse and neglect. Here are a few ideas on how you can help.

Report suspected abuse or neglect

We all have a role to play in building strong communities where families and children are valued and supported. If you suspect child abuse or neglect, it should be reported to your local law enforcement agency, social services agency, or child protective services. For more information please read Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect .
