The Coalition for the Protection of Children

Our mission is to heighten public awareness of children's issues, advocate on behalf of families and provide services that address critical but unmet needs. We aim to: - Achieve a broadly based understanding in the community about the importance of providing a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for children; - Provide therapeutic services to children and their families seeking assistance; - Encourage and support self-sufficiency through programs and services that seek to empower families; - Advocate for child protection and rights through policy, procedures, and legislation; - Promote a restorative, holistic and healing approach to issues that impact children and their families; - Ensure that an adequate safety net exists for the prevention, intervention, and treatment of children and families who have experienced trauma by working collaboratively with other helping agencies.
