Prevent Child Abuse America

Prevent Child Abuse Colorado (PCA Colorado) became a provisional chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America in 2009.

Since 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America) has led the way in building awareness, providing education and inspiring hope to everyone involved in the effort to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation's children. Working with the state chapters, they provide leadership to promote and implement prevention efforts at both the national and local levels. With the help of those state chapters and concerned individuals like you they're valuing children, strengthening families and engaging communities nationwide.

Their national campaign and local programs, prevention initiatives and events help spread the word in your community, creating awareness that prevention is possible. They are a family of friends, professionals, volunteers, donors and parents who are preventing child abuse and neglect before it ever starts.

Prevent Child Abuse America's network of 47 statewide chapters are critical to the successful realization of their mission. While defined by their shared focus on the prevention of child abuse and neglect, and similar in many of the activities they support and implement - advocacy, public awareness, training/education, prevention programming, coalition building, and Child Abuse Prevention Month activities among others - PCA America's state chapters are also independent of one another and unique in terms of the kinds of strategies and programming they offer.
