Child Abuse Prevention

Child Abuse Prevention

Child Abuse Prevention was adopted as the national project in 1979. This rapidly expanding program, funded and administered through The National Exchange Club Foundation for the Prevention of Child Abuse, addresses this affliction of society through a nationwide network of Exchange Club Centers for the Prevention of Child Abuse. The centers use professionally trained volunteers who work directly with abusing parents and their children in the family's home. This unique approach is achieving impressive results in ending abuse within those families.

In addition to working to establish Exchange Club Centers in their communities, clubs help prevent child abuse by sponsoring educational seminars, distributing informational pamphlets, posters, coloring books and other materials, and sponsoring a variety of other activities. National Child Abuse Prevention Month is observed each year in April.
