Mission: Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota was originally established in 1979 for the Prevention of Child Abuse and later became Family Support Network. Our mission is to prevent child abuse and neglect by promoting positive parenting, healthy families and supportive communities where children are valued and respected. In 2003, the name was changed to Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota (PCAMN) to more clearly reflect our focus and our work as the Minnesota chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America. PCAMN works statewide with nearly 50 chapter affiliates to provide weekly parenting support groups to 2002.PCAMN provides tens of thousands of Minnesotans with prevention outreach materials, education, and training annually through regional gatherings and videoconferences. We partner with a variety of organizations to build awareness and advocate for systems and policy change that supports families.
Programs: Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota's programs include: Circle of Parents, a statewide network of chapters that sponsor weekly mutual self-help support groups for parents and their children. Parents attend groups to increase their parenting skills, strengthen their relationships with their children and break inter-generational cycles of abuse and neglect. A companion children's program is also offered. The creation and distribution of prevention resources starts early in the year to promote April's Child Abuse Prevention Month. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of literature are distributed statewide to parents, practitioners, schools, daycare centers, and other professionals. We also sponsor the statewide blue ribbon campaign that distributes blue ribbon peaceful parenting tip cards across the state. In addition, PCAMN serves as a clearinghouse for prevention education, services, outreach, advocacy, and training across Minnesota. PCAMN devotes significant resources to training network volunteers, partners, and other community leaders. Almost all PCAMN programs are offered at no charge to parents, volunteers, and our partners.
