Help is Here Now
Adults are already well aware of sexual abuse as a problem in their communities. Our experience and our research confirms this. What they want and need is accurate information and guidance about realistic, positive steps to protect children.
If you have questions and concerns about child sexual abuse or a specific situation, we offer two ways for you to get the information you need: through our Online Help Center and our confidential, national Helpline (1.888.PREVENT). Both services provide balanced information, clear answers and practical resources to any adult who has a question or concern about the safety of a child.
In addition, we have compiled a resource directory of Helpful Links for situations of possible abuse.

Our Helpline phone service has been limited due to financial constraints. Please call for available hours. Our new Online Help Center provides much of the guidance and resources learned over the years about keeping children safe from sexual abuse.
