Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania, a program of the PA Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, became a chartered chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America in November 2010. The first organizational meeting was held in March 2009 to create a unified, statewide approach to the prevention of child abuse in all its forms. Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania seeks to work in collaboration with a rich array of local and statewide efforts to develop an approach to child abuse prevention that is locally based and statewide in coverage.
This work will focus on:
- Public awareness of child abuse;
- Public participation in prevention of child abuse;
- Public policy and advocacy to promote prevention;
- Utilization of evidence-based prevention programs for children,
caregivers and parents.
