EveryChild leads community efforts to eliminate child abuse by strengthening children and families through treatment, education, and prevention. We are the Quad Cities’ only child abuse prevention agency dedicated to keeping children safe and building strong families with an emphasis on children aged zero to five years. We provide effective, holistic services by approaching child abuse prevention utilizing a public health model through three distinct paradigms: Universal Prevention, through which the entire community is provided with education and support necessary for building nurturing families. Secondary Prevention, through which families are engaged with targeted, specialized support to keep children safe. Tertiary Prevention, through which children and families are provided with resources essential to healing from trauma, while teaming with skilled professionals to prevent recurrent abuse and neglect.
