Prevention Education: Together, we will create a safe future for families

CAN Council's prevention workshops, trainings, and classes are dedicated to fostering a culture of advocacy, action, and protection for children. Through these initiatives, we aim to empower individuals to recognize and respond to signs of abuse and neglect, thereby creating a safer environment for children to thrive.

“I always wondered why someone didn’t do something about that, then I realized I am somebody.”

Let's break the silence and stand up for children. Through prevention education and active advocacy, we will prevent child abuse and neglect and create safer, healthier communities where children and families can thrive.
