Public Policy and Advocacy
Home Child Abuse Prevention Month Public Policy and AdvocacyPrevent Child Abuse America (PCA America) works at the national level to increase support for federal policies that advance the mission of creating a comprehensive primary prevention ecosystem.
The policy department also provides technical support at the state level to help facilitate effective advocacy through PCA America’s nationwide networks – its state chapter network and nearly 600 Healthy Families America (HFA) evidence-based home visiting program sites. When communities, policymakers, and resources are invested in comprehensive primary prevention, we can begin to envision a world where the negative impacts and outcomes from child maltreatment will be nonexistent.
