FOUNDED IN 1972 by Donna J. Stone, Prevent Child Abuse America (formerly the National committee to Prevent Child Abuse) is the nation's leading child abuse prevention organization. PCA America is committed to preventing child abuse in all its forms — physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, neglect and sexual abuse — by working at national, state and local levels.

In 1999, the Children's Trust Fund became state co-chapter of Prevent Child Abuse Michigan.   Our partner in these efforts is the Children's Charter of the Courts of Michigan.   Children's Trust Fund's proven success at statewide advocacy, community-level program organizing and support, and collaboration building made it a natural choice for the state co-chapter for PCA.  

Through out partnership with the Children’s Charter, we;

• Provide leadership in state-level advocacy to enhance prevention policies and programs in Michigan.
• Increase public awareness of child abuse prevention through the development and distribution of resource materials, and by working with PCA-America on the promotion of national media campaigns.  
• Act as a source of comprehensive information on child abuse prevention.
• Promote promising strategies, supported by research, at both the state and local levels so that communities have access to the information, skills and resources necessary to provide meaningful services for families with young children.
