Partners in Prevention

Working together to strengthen families, support caregivers, and prevent child abuse before it happens.

Preventing child abuse and neglect is a shared responsibility. Through collaboration, education, and community action, we can build a Rhode Island where all children and families have the support they need to thrive.

Prevention Happens in Community

No single organization can prevent child abuse alone.

Partners in Prevention brings together nonprofits, schools, healthcare providers, family-serving agencies, advocates, businesses, and community leaders who share a commitment to strengthening families and promoting child well-being throughout Rhode Island.

Together, we learn from one another, share resources, coordinate prevention efforts, and amplify the message that all families deserve support.
