The Child Abuse Prevention Project at the University of Florida has been diligently working in North Central Florida to prevent child abuse and neglect through an effective home visitation program for over twenty years. Join us, take action, to ensure that children and their families are safe and healthy. 

The Child Abuse Prevention Project has also helped establish Child Abuse Prevention Task Forces throughout North Central Florida.  Their primary goal is to develop strategies within the community to prevent child abuse and neglect by impacting parents and their parenting practices.
