PREVENT CHILD ABUSE GORDON COUNTY INC

Our goal is to create awareness within the community by dispersing information and materials about child development, child abuse and neglect, parent education, and other relevant topics, and to be the driving force behind the prevention effort in our county, to provide programs that teach parents and caregivers more effective skills and to support families with programs that include everyone from infant to adult, both married and single parents.

Our agency provides many programs to help educate families on ways to reduce stress and make better parenting choices to ensure the health, happiness, and safety of their children.

We have highly qualified, trained staff to implement our services. We provide education to new parents at birth, voluntary in-home visitation, parenting classes, counseling, forensic interviews, family advocacy and supervised visitation for families with children in the system.

We provide over 3600 referrals each year to community partners to address the needs of our families.
Over 700 children have received forensic interviews and have been able to have their voice heard.
We are able to offer free therapy services to children who have experienced or are experiencing childhood trauma.
We continually provide education and information through all of our programs to help families succeed.
In the future, we plan to increase our overall community awareness and education on the issue of child abuse and neglect and how everyone can become involved in prevention to ensure all children have safe, happy, healthy childhoods.
