Prevention Is The Key
 

Family Outreach believes in investing time and energy in the life of a child who might be at risk, rather than intervening after the abuse has taken place. Treatment of child abuse after it occurs is more costly and much less effective. The emotional effects of child abuse and neglect can last a lifetime. Victims whose families do not receive help are at higher risk of repeating the cycle of child abuse. Society as a whole is affected when the child abuse cycle is not broken.
