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.
