The Child Abuse Council "leads community efforts to eliminate child abuse and neglect by strengthening children and families through treatment, education and prevention." According to their website, the groups goals for every child are "(1) a safe and nurturing home; (2) a secure parent-child relationship; and (3) an environment supporting successful growth and development." In order to do this they need our support in the form of donations and volunteers.
