Our Core Values

  • Valuing children: We are committed to raising the value society places on children and to preventing abuse and neglect, so that all children can grow to their full potential. Every child deserves to be cherished and nurtured in a safe environment. Harming a child in any way is unacceptable.
  • Strengthening families: We are committed to strengthening families and preventing child abuse and neglect by providing families with the information, support, and resources necessary to be successful in raising children.
  • Engaging communities: We are committed to engaging communities in the development and implementation of prevention strategies and programs.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Leadership: We will provide leadership to advance the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
  • Collaboration: We will create opportunities for collaboration with individuals and organizations to share our mission.
  • Integrity and excellence: We will be guided in all of our actions by adherence to the highest standards of conduct, and we will strive for excellence.
  • Diversity: We embrace diversity in all aspects of our organization and communities.
  • Respect: We are committed to treating people with respect.
  • Intelligence and Accountability: We are committed to basing our programs on the best available research and to conducting systematic evaluation of our programs.
