A Quarter Century of Service to America's Children and Families

 

Founded in 1984, the National Council on Child Abuse and Family Violence (NCCAFV) and its American Campaign for Prevention of Child Abuse and Family Violence provides intergenerational violence prevention services to strengthen community prevention and treatment programs that address family violence -- child abuse, spouse/partner abuse (domestic violence), and elder abuse by bringing together community and national stakeholders, professionals and volunteers to mobilize innovative efforts that prevent the intergenerational transmission of violence within families. NCCAFV serves all fifty states and U.S. territories (and works internationally) as a resource center on family violence prevention services by utilizing professional and lay volunteers who provide indirect and direct service programs of emergency referrals; training and technical assistance; program, organization and resource development; and public education and information campaigns through the media and on its website: www.nccafv.org and www.familyviolence.org
