Prevention Services

Preventing child abuse requires all of us to do our part: parents and caregivers, schools, youth serving organizations, and community members.

By educating ourselves and understanding the warning signs, we can work together to stop abuse before it happens.

Parents & Caregivers

Safety for youth and teens is a paramount concern in today’s world. From online safety to physical well-being, ensuring their protection is essential for their healthy development. 

Schools

Prevention, education, and body safety lessons in schools empower children with the knowledge and skills to recognize, prevent and respond to potentially harmful situations.

Youth Serving Organizations

It is crucial for staff working with youth to learn the skills that keep children in their care safe, healthy, and happy. Early detection can prevent further harm to the child and provide them with the necessary support and intervention services.
