Preventing Child Abuse in Dutchess County — With Your Help

The Child Abuse Prevention Center (formerly Task Force for Child Protection) is a private non-profit that has been dedicated to the reduction of child maltreatment since 1973.

OUR MISSION is to reduce the incidence of child abuse and neglect by providing education, prevention and intervention services throughout Dutchess County.

Each year, we serve more than 6,000 abused and at-risk children and provide support and education services to more than 2,000 parents, teachers and caregivers. We are the only agency in Dutchess County providing sexual-abuse prevention training. Our support services help abused children — and educate adults to prevent future abuse.

We receive funding from a variety of public and private sources — but rely on individual donations and corporate donations for the bulk of our unrestricted support. We are a 501(c) (3) charitable organization. Thank you for your generous support!
