About Prevent Child Abuse Delaware

Since 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America has led the national movement to stop child abuse and neglect before it begins. As Delaware’s state chapter, Prevent Child Abuse Delaware carries that mission forward by delivering science-based programs, training, and resources that help children, families, and communities thrive.

We believe every child in Delaware deserves a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Our work focuses on prevention—empowering adults with the knowledge and tools to protect children and promote healthy development today and for generations to come.
