PCAVT believes that child abuse is preventable—and that prevention must begin early, with consistent access to education, support, and connection. The organization offers a broad range of evidence-based and trauma-informed services to families, educators, children, and communities across all 14 counties of Vermont. Programs are delivered in-person, virtually, and in partnership with schools, childcare centers, correctional facilities, and family service agencies. PCAVT programming is also shared nationally through online trainings and published materials.

In 2024, PCAVT served 10,985 individuals and reached over 218,000 children, teens, and adults through direct service and professional development. The organization’s core programs include:

The Healthy Relationships Project: School-based child sexual abuse prevention curricula and adult education.
Family Support Programs: Peer-led and curriculum-based parenting education and support groups.
Safe Environments for Infants and Toddlers: Education on shaken baby syndrome prevention and infant safe sleep.
The Vermont Parents’ Helpline: A free, confidential phone and digital chat support service.
The Vermont Parents’ Home Companion & Resource Directory: A trusted resource distributed annually to more than 30,000 Vermont families through hospitals and healthcare partners.

These programs include not only live services but also practical educational materials—student lessons, staff trainings, workshops, and outreach tools—that help adults recognize risk and support children.
