Children's Trust of South Carolina

Strengthening families, organizations and communities to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Children's Trust of South Carolina is the statewide organization focused on the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Keeping kids safe doesn't easily lend itself to a single solution, which is why we do all of the following things.

Advocating for transformation: When we focus upstream and address the well-being of families, more children will have happy, healthy childhoods.

Supporting program delivery: Bringing our resources and expertise, we partner with local organizations to deliver proven prevention programs. Together we achieve results.

Strengthening our network: We use data-driven decision-making and quality research to give our stakeholders what they need to improve the lives of children and their families.

Leading prevention training: Our robust training and professional development opportunities provide knowledge around child abuse prevention that keeps kids safe and builds strong families.

Testimonials

"I am thankful for a community that supports me and my children. Since the [Strengthening Families] sessions I have been able to talk to my kids more and can call [Greenville Family Partnership] anytime if I need to. Miss Karen also gave out several worksheets that have been very helpful since we have graduated." - Melissa, Strengthening Families Program graduate

"So as advocates and researchers, policymakers, and executives, it is up to each of us to paint on tomorrow's canvas the picture we envision our state to be. One where children and families are free of abuse, free of poverty, and free to grow and thrive." - Senator Katrina Shealy
