Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Child welfare programs are known for the research, development and dissemination of best practices in child welfare. Child welfare programs assist professional child welfare organizations that serve abused and neglected children and provide studies and trainings in such initiatives as family group decision making and differential response. Child welfare works to strengthen communities and child protective services systems to prevent child abuse and neglect. It works within communities to build effective, responsive services for children and families that result in more positive outcomes, and helps safeguard children through research and education that improves service delivery of public and private agencies and individual child care professionals.

Activity 3

The mission to serve both children and animals meets and coalesces in the association's human-animal interaction program, the principles of which have been integral to the association's mission since inception. Activities include research and training programs based on the incredible bond between animals and people, and the empathy and compassion learned in caring for pets. Primary among these efforts are animal-assisted therapy and humane education. The association also supports research into the long-known correlation between animal abuse and violence to people.
