Join us as we celebrate our
35th Anniversary
For 35 years, Prevent Child Abuse Illinois has led the way in making our state a safer, more nurturing place for children. Through education, public awareness, support for community programs, and advocacy, we’ve worked alongside families, schools, organizations, and leaders to prevent child abuse before it happens.
But protecting children isn’t something we can do alone—everyone has a role to play. Whether you're a parent, teacher, neighbor, or policymaker, your voice and actions matter. When we all come together, we create stronger families, safer communities, and a brighter future for every child.
As we celebrate this important milestone, we invite you to stand with us. Let’s continue to work together to ensure every child in Illinois grows up safe, loved, and supported.
