Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey is a nonprofit organization working to end child abuse.
Our mission is to prevent child abuse in all of its forms, for all of New Jersey’s children.
Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey is the only statewide non-profit dedicated to preventing child abuse in all of its forms, for all of New Jersey’s children. The organization was incorporated in 1979 as the New Jersey chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, the 9th Chapter to be established among a national network. Today, we exist as one of the largest chapters across the country, and have become a recognized leader for prevention work in New Jersey.
 For more than 30 years, Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey has implemented a broad range of prevention services that now operate in all 21 counties of the state. We are governed by a volunteer board of corporate and community leaders who represent a broad spectrum of expertise. Operating on a budget of which 92% is devoted directly to program services, we employ a staff of 27 professionals from a variety of disciplines, including law, public policy, social work, education, and journalism. We deliver services in all 21 counties through these primary methods:
-
We expand and coordinate home visitation programs for high-risk families to engage them in intensive parenting education and connect them to community services which keep them health and out-of-crisis.
By reaching out to families around the time of their baby’s birth, we teach healthy and safe parenting practices so that all babies have the opportunity to get off to the right start.
-
We provide training, technical assistance and quality assurance services to local organizations to as they replicate a host of nationally researched prevention models proven to prevent child abuse and create healthier families.
We are the state affiliate for several nationally acclaimed prevention programs, including Healthy Families, Parents As Teachers, EPIC (Every Person Influences Children) and serve as the state PIRC (Parent Information and Resource Center).
- We deliver certified, high-quality education to build professional skills and raise community awareness around effective strategies to prevent child abuse and strengthen families.
