Prevention: Children’s Bureau works to prevent child abuse by educating communities about risk issues and working with parents individually to provide assistance before abuse or neglect occurs. They set the pace for Indiana by piloting a nationally recognized prevention model that boasts a 97% success rate for keeping families out of the child welfare system.

• 24/7 emergency children’s shelter
• in-home counseling
