Arkansas Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Board
Welcome!
The Arkansas Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Board
                                  reaches out to families to prevent a crisis tomorrow.

We believe our support of programs and initiatives that promote positive parenting practices and
encourage strong, healthy families will ensure a brighter future for all Arkansans.
Arkansas Children's Trust Fund
The Arkansas Children’s Trust Fund provides a permanent
funding source for the prevention of child abuse in Arkansas.  
Collected funds are disbursed in the form of grants to
organizations or individuals that operate
programs with a proven  
child abuse prevention component.

educators from various disciplines, and supporting a statewide
network of programs that provide parenting education.
