Mission

CHILDREN'S TRUST IS THE ONLY STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT IN SOUTH CAROLINA. IT LEADS AND SUPPORTS A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH SHARE THE BELIEF THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD THRIVE, LIVE IN SECURE FAMILIES AND BE SURROUNDED BY SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITIES. AS AN INTERMEDIARY ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON PREVENTION, CHILDREN'S TRUST SERVES AS THE STATEWIDE ADVOCATE FOR ISSUES CRITICAL TO SOUTH CAROLINA'S CHILDREN, PROVIDES RESOURCES AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO OUR PREVENTION PARTNERS, AND CREATES AND SHARES MESSAGES ABOUT PREVENTION. IT ALSO SUPPORTS AND FUNDS PROVEN PREVENTION PROGRAMS, CONDUCTS HIGH-QUALITY DATA AND TREND ANALYSIS, AND OFFERS TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONALS SO THEY HAVE THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO HELP CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE.
