Prevent Child Abuse Iowa

Prevent Child Abuse (PCA) Iowa is excited to celebrate 50 years of dedication to child abuse prevention and strengthening families across the state. Since 1975, we’ve focused on helping families and communities create safe, nurturing environments where every child can thrive. Our work has centered on public awareness, advocacy, and education—equipping parents, caregivers, and community members with the tools they need to prevent abuse and support healthy childhoods.

A cornerstone of PCA Iowa’s impact has been its partnerships with local organizations, schools, and healthcare providers. By working together to support community-based prevention programs, we tailor resources and training to meet the needs of families and children across Iowa. These partnerships allow us to address local challenges, share best practices, and ensure our work is effective and sustainable. Our 50th anniversary is a celebration of these collaborations and a commitment to expanding our network to reach even more families.

Our anniversary is a celebration of the children, families, and communities who inspire us daily. With 50 years behind us, PCA Iowa is more dedicated than ever to preventing abuse and fostering environments where every child has the opportunity to thrive. Prevention is a collaborative effort. Together, we’re building a happier, stronger Iowa for generations to come.

Prevention means before.
