New Hampshire Children’s Trust (NHCT) and its many family strengthening partners are pleased to announce that April marks Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to celebrate and strengthen the efforts of individuals, families, and communities working together to ensure the safety and healthy development of every child. Governor Kelly A. Ayotte has officially proclaimed April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month, underscoring the shared responsibility of all—families, neighbors, and organizations—to create supportive, nurturing environments where children can flourish.
This year, New Hampshire Children’s Trust continues to partner with Prevent Child Abuse America to adapt their Theory of Change, re-imagining New Hampshire’s vast network of family support and strengthening programs as a comprehensive ecosystem of primary prevention that is aligned and places families squarely in the center of the systems and services they use daily. By ensuring broad access to supports and services like home visiting, developmental screening, and more, parents and caregivers can do what they do best: provide a nurturing environment in which children thrive.
At New Hampshire Children’s Trust, we believe that child abuse prevention begins with building resilient, empowered families. We all play a role in the prevention of child abuse and neglect by helping to foster strong family and community connections and ensuring that every family has the resources and support they need to succeed. Together, we can build a future where every child in New Hampshire grows up in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment.
Please join New Hampshire Children’s Trust and New Hampshire’s many family strengthening partners in prioritizing child abuse prevention, strengthening families, and building resilient communities. Because we know that family is NH’s best investment. Visit nhchildrenstrust.org/prevention for ways you can get involved.
New Hampshire Children’s Trust ensures parents have easy access to high-quality resources and support to help children develop the skills they need to thrive. We educate direct-service professionals, advocate for better policies to support parents, and connect with local agencies to strengthen families and lay the foundation for children's success. The mission of NHCT is to lead the drive to ensure safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments for children by educating, advocating, and collaborating.
