The New York State Child Abuse Prevention conference inspires and equips professionals, advocates, parents and other caregivers with the latest abuse prevention, child protection, and parenting information and skills. We expect about 600 participants. They work in many arenas: parent and family education and support, child protective services, domestic violence, health care, mental health, education, law enforcement, legal services, religious and civic organizations, and in the home as parents. Their common purpose is to nurture and protect children.
