Imagine a world where all children have what they need to thrive and prosper, and all parents have the resources and supports they need to care for their children adequately. Prevent Child Abuse America believes this envisioned world is possible, and in response, embarked on a comprehensive, adaptive strategy process in 2022 to set a vision for the creation of a primary prevention ecosystem in the United States that builds the well-being of our nation’s children and families.
The PCA America Theory of Change represents a comprehensive, evidenced-based, and bold prevention framework that guides the work of PCA America and the broader prevention field and policymakers in ensuring equitable and positive childhoods for all children. This document outlines the Theory of Change, including PCA America’s North Star guiding the work, shared values, and strategies for building an aligned and comprehensive primary prevention ecosystem.
