Our Philosophy

We believe:

• That no child should suffer the pain of abuse and neglect; "fixing" after the fact isn't enough.  
• That the child is not an isolated individual, but part of a family—and that effective prevention includes the family.
• That prevention is possible: people can change; behavior can change; and the cycle of abuse can be broken.
• That every family/societal group is vulnerable to child abuse and neglect.
• That community partnerships and alliances are needed to achieve and sustain prevention.
• That it is more cost-effective to prevent than to intervene or provide treatment after the abuse and neglect.
• That cultural competence is essential to understanding and preventing child abuse and Prevent Child Abuse Indiana is committed to developing cultural diversity throughout its organization.
• That raising awareness, gathering and providing information, educating and building support are critical for successful prevention.
• Prevent Child Abuse Indiana is a division of The Villages and a chartered state chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America, and has adopted the Position Statement and Resolutions developed by Prevent Child Abuse America.
