About Prevent Child Abuse Iowa
Prevent Child Abuse Iowa’s fundamental mission is to end child abuse in the entire state of Iowa. Its focus on prevention is unique in the child abuse field, where most efforts involve treating children and families after abuse has already occurred.
Prevent Child Abuse Iowa is the only statewide organization dedicated to preventing child abuse through advocacy, research and communications. These platforms are not only used to raise awareness of the cause, but are intended to support the work of local organizations which operate in alliance with our mission.
Prevent Child Abuse Iowa also manages state and federal grant programs, which contribute financial support to community groups that provide services to families. These services offer education to parents and assist families in building positive support systems. Prevent Child Abuse Iowa provides on-going training and education to its grantees in order to enhance their ability to prevent child abuse before it occurs.
Child abuse is preventable. Prevent Child Abuse Iowa recognizes it will take Iowans working together to ensure children are raised in safe, nurturing environments. The organization is proudly leading and inspiring others to create a state free from child abuse.
Prevent Child Abuse Iowa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
