The Family Tree Nurturing Center and The Parenting Place in Missoula collaboratively form Child Abuse Prevention Centers of Motana. Since being chartered in 2014, we have continued to work toward our mission: To prevent the abuse and neglect of Montana’s children, in all its forms.

We recognize our power to help create the kind of state we want to live in. We also recognize that when all children do not have equal opportunity for healthy growth and development, we put our future as a society at risk.

Because of the work being accomplished via the National Exchange Club Centers for the prevention of child abuse network, we know that there are many effective child development efforts being implemented around the country. Their services focus on in-home mentoring, shaken baby syndrome prevention, sexual safety and child sexual abuse prevention, peer abuse and bullying prevention, and many more. It is our intention to continue to support and expand these services across our state.

We will continue to focus on innovative and needed services that lay the foundation for children’s growth and development. We stress this because it is a necessity when we consider the need to reduce the possibility of more serious problems occurring later for these children.

Our vision is a state in which no child is ever abused or neglected. We believe that with the help from the public, policy-makers, and corporate partners, that this idea can be made a reality.
