The Children’s Trust’s mission and its dedicated staff are focused on a singular ambition: stop child abuse in Massachusetts. Informed by rigorous research and driven by an evidence-based approach, its programs, advocacy, and statewide partnerships lead to safer children in stable families and reduce the social, health, and education costs for all.
