Since 1977, the Child Abuse Council has been working towards its mission to stop abuse that is occurring, prevent abuse before it occurs and rebuild the child and family after abuse.
	Through their programs, parents receive hands-on training, support and the information needed to face the many challenges and pleasures of raising healthy, happy and well adjusted children.
Prevention and education programs are designed to reach out to both parents at-risk for violent behavior, and parents who just need a helping hand. Specially designed treatment programs offer abused and neglected children loving, therapeutic care while their parents receive intensive training and counseling. Education and prevention programs offer services such as home visits, workshops, support groups and developmental playgroups to engage families early on to help parents enhance their parenting skills, as well as their children’s physical, social and intellectual development.
