The abuse prevention agency advances its mission of leading the drive to eliminate child abuse and neglect by promoting universal prevention programs with the general population, and secondary prevention strategies targeted to individuals or families where there is a higher risk of maltreatment.  Programs are focused on young children and families, collaborative in nature and likely to have a lasting impact in the elimination of child abuse and neglect.

NH Children's Trust plays a key role in providing training, technical assistance, resources, evaluation and accreditation support to direct service programs. They strive to improve systems and public policies to support healthy outcomes for children.   In addition, NH Children's Trust works to engage the general public, community, business, religious and parent leaders in taking actions to eliminate child abuse and neglect in New Hampshire.
