Fresno Council on Child Abuse Prevention
It should not hurt to be a child.
Our mission is to coordinate community efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse
and neglect.
Make a difference today
Advocate
Be a voice for all children at risk. This involves more than reporting suspected
maltreatment. California spends 12 times as much annually on prisoners as it does on
preschoolers- $132,860 per prisoner versus $23,878 per preschool student.
Donate
Give your time, treasure (money) or talent! Constant research and
development of child abuse prevention programs that are evidence based and involve a
multi- disciplinary approach to prevent abuse before it occurs which requires the
support of our entire community.
For every $10 invested in prevention, $1,000 is saved
in intervention, treatment and human suffering!
Educate
Yourself, other family members and your colleagues on ACEs – what are
Adverse Childhood Experiences and the destructive impact on our society.
