Since 1987, the Center for Child Protection and Family Support has advocated for safe and healthy environments for families. We’re helping to ensure all children can grow up and live in communities free of all forms of violence. We offer evidence-based intervention and treatment services to traumatized children, and we conduct prevention programs for parents and caretakers.

We are committed to meeting the needs of families from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Through training, research and technical assistance, we help to strengthen the knowledge and skills of providers about the issues of child maltreatment.

The Center is a non-profit social service agency co-founded by Joyce N. Thomas, a pediatric nurse practitioner with extensive experience in services children and families in need.
