Diverse Paths, Common Dreams
April 16-18, 2012

The New York State Child Abuse Prevention Conference inspires and equips professionals, advocates, parents and other caregivers with the most recent strategies and techniques for strengthening families, preventing child abuse, and improving outcomes for at-risk children and families. Attendees travel diverse paths to the conference, working in many arenas: parenting education, family support, child abuse prevention and child protective services, intervention and treatment, domestic violence, early childhood education, health care, mental health, legal services, schools and in the home as parents. Their common dream is to build a world where all children grow in healthy and nurturing homes, schools, neighborhoods and communities.
