PCA America 2023 Annual Report

In 2023 Prevent Child Abuse America unveiled a roadmap that leads to a primary prevention ecosystem in the US. The PCA America Theory of Change was created with an ambitious, yet achievable North Star: All children and families live a purposeful and happy life with hope for the future. Hopeful, positive outcomes continue to be our most important metric, and this theory of change allows for our incredible prevention network and their partners to join this movement. This notion took root, beginning with internal conversations and rapidly gained traction with chapters and other prevention partners as we began to build the concept of this prevention ecosystem – a roadmap – to ensuring that children have the healthy, happy, stable and nurturing environments necessary to thrive.
