About Prevention Services
In the early 1990s, the National Children’s Advocacy Center (NCAC) leaders realized it was not enough to intervene in child abuse cases. The NCAC recognized that to protect children from abuse, prevention services must address individuals, families and the community.
The local prevention programs of the NCAC reach out to almost 10,000 people in Huntsville/Madison County, Alabama each year. These programs offer a range of services to parents, children, schools and a variety of individuals and organizations throughout the community.
If you would like to find out how you can get involved in protecting our children, please visit our website www.weareyoucan.org on the prevention of child abuse. The campaign introduces the “We Are. You Can" initiative, which emphasizes personal awareness and actions every individual can take to help protect children in every community in order to have safe and productive futures. The combination of the PSA, a corresponding web site with detailed information, and social media outreach all highlight actions for keeping children safe from child abuse and neglect in a fully integrated, comprehensive media campaign.
The NCAC is working to be a voice for children. It is not up to the children who suffer silently from being abused or neglected, it is up to you, it is up to us, and we are making a difference. We are. You Can.
