Prevent Child Abuse America

Founded in 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America)’s mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation’s children. Together with its network of  state chapters and “Healthy Families America” home visitation programs in 41 states, it focuses on community activities and public policies that prioritize prevention right from the start to make sure child abuse and neglect never occur.

Partners for over two decades, Prevent Child Abuse America and ENOUGH ABUSE™ produced in 2021 the national report, “A Call to Action for Policymakers and Advocates: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Legislation in the States” – the only resource that tracks such laws on a continuous basis across the country.

Currently, ENOUGH ABUSE™ is serving as Co-Lead on a multi-year CDC research grant with Prevent Child Abuse America and the National Conference of State Legislatures to study the effect of child sexual abuse prevention legislation in states on reported cases of child sexual abuse.
