Specialties: Prevents child abuse through education, research, treatment programs and changing community norms.

Approaches: We believe that the best hope for preventing child abuse is by enacting and strengthening the following policies and prevention efforts in our communities: promoting accurate information; enhancing services to children who are victims of sex abuse; providing specialized treatment programs for sex offenders; offering timely sexuality education; improving our understanding of behaviors that make children vulnerable.

Our efforts are guided by this understanding: to truly prevent harm to children, adults need to accept responsibility for recognizing, acknowledging and confronting behaviors that lead to abuse. More importantly, any long-term prevention strategy must change societal norms, so the sexual abuse of children is not tolerated and appropriate forms of help, support and accountability are provided to child victims and adult survivors, those who sexually abuse children, and the families of both.
