Reducing Child Abuse and Neglect
All children need a safe home so that they can grow into healthy and responsible adults.
Oregonians look out for one another, especially for our most vulnerable children who have been abused or neglected.
We can prevent abuse by supporting prevention programs, and we can help those kids who have been abused or neglected by giving them the care they need to be successful.
