Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey is a resource for every community and citizen in New Jersey. Our programs and materials are used to support parents in more than 500 communities every day.

There are proven methods of preventing child abuse and neglect. Our programs are easily implemented, cost-effective and, most importantly, humane.

• We lead New Jersey’s efforts to expand home visitation programs for new and expectant parents of infants and very young children. By reaching out to high-risk families, we teach healthy and safe parenting practices so that all babies have the opportunity to get off to the right start.

• We work in local neighborhoods alongside community leaders to meet the specific needs of their parents and children, especially those who are vulnerable or already in crisis. Working with people who families trust, we build strong prevention programs that reach the specific needs of parents and children in their home communities.

• We increase awareness of the boundless consequences of abuse and neglect. By providing high-quality community education and specialized professional training, we build the knowledge and skills of those who touch the lives of children.

• We educate New Jersey about the promise of prevention. We reach tens of thousands of citizens and child advocates by disseminating information, conducting radio and television interviews, hosting statewide events and offering community presentations that teach about the role we all have in the family support movement.
