Established in 1993, Prevent Child Abuse St. Joseph County (PCASJC) has provided countless presentations and other educational programs to the community and has worked with groups, agencies and governmental bodies to further the cause of child abuse prevention.

 

Over the years, PCASJC has provided funding for primary child abuse prevention programs to community organizations and has conducted its own public awareness media campaigns.

 

In 2009, PCASJC joined the family of affiliates at Family & Children's Center. Family & Children’s Center is dedicated to strengthening the emotional and behavioral health of the communities it serves, with special emphasis on the needs of children and families. Each of the Family & Children’s Center affiliates has its own specific mission and serves our community in different ways according to its resources and expertise. All share one common goal: Leading the way to better lives.

 

Our mission is to prevent child abuse from occuring.

 

Because it shouldn't hurt to be a child.

 

 

 

Our office does not take abuse/neglect reports. Thank you.
