WHAT WE DO
PRIMARY PREVENTION
We know strengthening families through resilience, parenting education, basic supports, and knowledge of children’s social and emotional development drastically reduces the occurrence of child abuse and neglect.
​
We call that PRIMARY PREVENTION and increasing family access to Protective Factors, like those above, is what makes it work.

ECONOMIC & CONCRETE SUPPORTS
FOR NH FAMILIES
The NH Children's Trust works in partnership and with support from Baby2Baby and The National Diaper Bank Network to strengthen family protective factors, by providing concrete supports in times of need. This initiative ensures that New Hampshire families have access to the basic necessities they need to care for their children with the essential resources through trusted community-based organizations across the state.
​
EMPOWERING FATHERS ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE
We know children and families thrive when fathers are positively involved, strengthening cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes for kids while building more balanced, connected homes.
​
Empowering Fathers Across New Hampshire is a free, statewide program helping dads and father figures build the confidence, skills, and resources to thrive at home, at work, and in their communities. Launching Fall 2026, the program offers connection with other dads, 24:7 Dad® workshops, individualized goal-setting, and access to financial, employment, and other community resources that strengthen families across the Granite State.
