Welcome
The Prevention and Early Intervention division of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services created this site as a resource for parents, professionals, and communities to support child abuse prevention and public awareness efforts.

Child abuse is a community issue. Every person can help make sure the children of Texas have a brighter future. And preventing child abuse is up to all of us. Child abuse prevention means stopping child abuse and neglect before it happens. The best strategies to prevent child abuse and neglect are to:
- Support families and provide parents with the skills and resources they need.
- Support providers who are serving families by providing tools and resources.
- Create communities that have supportive services in place and a shared goal of safety and stability for families.
