Removing barriers to healthy parenting and helping to create stronger families and communities. All children have the right to a safe, secure and supportive environment. Prevent Child Abuse New York is the only private, nonprofit agency serving the entire state whose single mission is to prevent child abuse in all its forms. Through public awareness, training and technical assistance, and policy work and advocacy our work supports the healthy development and prosperity of New York's children, families, and communities. Without Prevent Child Abuse New York, countless struggling and isolated parents might never find the help they need--community programs that we know prevent child abuse might not even exist--our State's response to protecting children would dwindle.
