Empowering Change Through Advocacy.
Your Voice Matters: Join the Movement to Support Child & Family Wellbeing

Prevent Child Abuse Oregon Advocates for polices, legislation, and programs that promote child and family wellbeing to prevent child abuse and neglect from occurring in the first place. When we invest in programs, policies and initiatives that support children and families, we are creating the conditions needed to ensure everyone thrives. From early childhood education and healthy child development to housing, food security and access to health care - we advocate in support of the whole child and the whole family.

Everyone has a role to play in preventing child abuse and strengthening families. One way is to use your voice to advocate on behalf of children and families when budget and policy decisions are being made at the federal, state, or local levels.
