Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We promote Great Childhoods, positive parenting and healthy child development. We desire all children to have Great Childhoods - happy, healthy and safe.

Our prevention programs throughout New Jersey are evidence-based. We also play a key role in raising awareness about the prevention of child abuse and neglect. We advocate for stronger policies and practices for prevention.

PCA-NJ is recognized statewide for our staff leadership and expertise. A number of our employees serve on national or statewide commissions and advisory boards.

Our programs annually reach more than 50,000 children and families. In FY 2017-18, nearly 5,000 families received more than 53,000 home visits. 90% of pregnant or parenting teens in our Parent Linking Program graduated high school with a diploma. Our shaken baby syndrome (abusive head trauma) prevention program, The Period of PURPLE Crying, was expanded to 13 NJ hospitals, educating parents about coping with the normal yet frustrating stress of a crying baby.

We will continue to use research and data to identify promising strategies and seek funding.
