PCA America: Since 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America) has led the way in building awareness, providing education, and inspiring hope to everyone involved in the effort to prevent the child abuse and neglect of our nation's children. Working with state chapters, PCA America provides leadership to promote and implement prevention efforts at both the national and local levels. With the help of state chapters and concerned individuals PCA America is valuing children, strengthening families, and engaging communities nationwide.
PCA Michigan's History: From 1999-2009, The Michigan Children's Trust Fund served in partnership with the former Children's Charter of the Courts of Michigan as co-chapters of Prevent Child Abuse Michigan.
PCA Michigan's Future: The Children's Trust Fund is positioned for the future in it's key leadership role of child abuse and neglect prevention in Michigan. In the Fall of 2009, The Children's Trust Fund successfully completed a rechartering process with PCA America and took over sole responsibility as the PCA Michigan chapter.
