Who are we?
Prevent Child Abuse Rockdale is a chartered council of a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to preventing child abuse. PCAR leads, supports, and coordinates citizens and professionals in a comprehensive effort to end child abuse.
How do we prevent Child Abuse?
Child abuse prevention is about strengthening the ability of parents and communities to care for their children’s health and well-being.
Preventing child abuse means understanding the conditions that make children vulnerable to harm and taking the action necessary to improve those conditions.
Through the parenting skills programs offered by PCAR, we address these issues, strengthen families, and protect children.
Our Prevention Programs
Parenting classes are offered in various community locations throughout the year. Being a parent is the toughest job you'll ever have, but with the right skills, knowledge and experience it can be the most rewarding. Our parenting programs can teach you new ways of understanding your child's needs, interacting with each other, how to develop more positive family relationships, and other new skills for coping with the stress of being a parent.

Why we need your support?
Child abuse prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Preventing child abuse means making sure that children never experience maltreatment rather than waiting until they are harmed and then trying to repair the damage.
Volunteer support multiplies our efforts to help families and educate our community. There are many rewarding and exciting opportunities to serve families with us.
Financial support helps ensure the continuation of PCAR’s proven prevention programs. Your tax deductible pledge or gift will help offset recent decreases in government funding and allow us to provide vitally needed services to families and children.
