ABOUT PREVENT CHILD ABUSE OREGON
Prevent Child Abuse Oregon (PCAO) is a provisional chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, founded in 1972 to promote the healthy development of children and prevent child abuse.
PCAO’s mission in Oregon is strengthening families to prevent child abuse and neglect. PCAO is most well known for our signature Pinwheels for Prevention campaign each April during Child Abuse Prevention Month.
We envision an Oregon where all children live in safe, nurturing homes and supportive communities, regardless of race, class, culture or geography.
PCAO engages, mobilizes, and energizes communities to work at multiple levels: in amplifying the voices and perspectives of survivors of child abuse and those with lived experience of the child welfare system, by unifying and focusing the efforts of a partnership of child-serving nonprofit organizations, and by advocating at the legislative level for prevention policies that are guided and informed by families and communities impacted by the consequences of child abuse.
