Mission & History
In
1979, Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina was chartered by concerned
North Carolinians, most of who had been involved in the Statewide Child
Abuse and Neglect Public Awareness Campaign (SCANPAC), an organization
that had its beginnings as an ad hoc committee of the North Carolina
Division of Social Services. Early efforts helped to secure the
first Children’s Trust Fund for North Carolina, and to network
professionals through annual conferences.
