The mission of the Huron County Child Abuse Prevention Committee is to strengthen families and prevent the incidence of child abuse. Since 1987, our agency has been delivering programs to children and families through our parent education programs, parent support services, Personal Safety Education for children with disabilities, and community education awareness programs.
Within the community we offer training to professionals in programming which helps prevent bullying and builds on children's self esteem and respect for others. We offer parent education programs also to give parents the information which they need on this issue.
