Preventing Child Abuse is a top priority for Central Florida's Children's Advocacy Centers. Research strongly suggests that primary prevention, made before problems develop, is by far the least expensive and most effective means of solving a wide range of social problems including child abuse and neglect. Please join us in our journey to strengthen families.
Practicing Prevention First
- Interrupts the "cycle of violence"
- Builds on the strengths of families
- Helps parents before abusive or neglectful behavior begins which is more effective than trying to correct abusive or neglectful habits once they develop
- Is for everyone and is voluntarily
- Helps children protect themselves by providing them with information and skills that increase self-esteem, daily life skills and the ability to protect themselves from abuse and neglect
- Is an investment in the future for all of us in Central Florida
As You Local Children's Advocacy Center We Promise
- To break the cycle of abuse by working together with families in our community to help improve lives
- To help educate the community on how to prevent or identify and respond to child abuse
- To coordinate and integrate prevention services throughout Seminole County
- To offer classes that help to strengthen the family like our positive parenting classes
- To listen when you tell us what your family needs. Remember you don't have to go it alone; we are a phone call away
- To bring you up-to-date information on new ideas and events that will help educate all of us on strengthening families
- To respect the family unit and your abilities as a parent
Respect your children and they will respect you!
