Child abuse thrives in silence, delay, and doubt. But when adults notice early, speak up early, and act early, children are safer, families receive help sooner, and trauma doesn’t have time to take root. Early identification and intervention are not about accusing—they’re about protecting. And for many children, they are the reason a painful chapter doesn’t become a lifelong story.

Investing in prevention-focused research is not just an option; it's a necessity.

The healing journey for children who have experienced multiple forms of abuse is long and complex.
