About Us

In prevention and early intervention services, collaboration is essential to maximize effective use of resources and eliminate duplication of efforts. This collaboration provides the Ounce of Prevention Fund with a means to share information on evidenced-based and effective programs and strategies for prevention and early intervention with Florida's communities.

 

PCA Florida is funded through the Florida Department of Children and Families with Community Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) dollars. While PCA America chapters share a focus on the prevention of child abuse and neglect and engage in similar activities including advocacy, public awareness, training/education, prevention programming, coalition building, and Child Abuse Prevention Month activities, each chapter is independent and unique in terms of the kinds of strategies and programming they offer.

 

PCA America's mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation's children. PCA Florida's mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of Florida's children.
