Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina is the only statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect in all its forms. We are a state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America with a thriving statewide Prevention Network.  Our Prevention Network consists of over 300 organizations and professionals working to implement critical child abuse prevention programs in their local communities.

The impact of child maltreatment is far greater than its immediate, visible effects.  Early experiences in a child’s life can affect their development and have consequences that last years, even lifetimes.  Children do well when their parents do well.  And parents do better when they live in communities that actively support families.

Effective child abuse prevention must be woven into the fabric of our communities—into the structure of our schools, hospitals, places of work, communities of faith, and childcare facilities.  Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina is leading the effort to prevent abuse before it happens by developing family-oriented, community-based prevention, awareness, education, and training programs.

Picture This, Prevent Child Abuse NC's signature gala event, will take place on October 25, 2008 from 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm at the North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh.  Join us for an evening of specially selected fine art works, enticing silent auction items, and renowned live music. Community leaders, corporate partners, and advocates from across the state will gather to celebrate children and families. Do not miss your opportunity to be a part of this limited engagement of 500 individuals committed to the vital work of child abuse prevention.
