As the world’s first child protection agency, The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children responds to the complex needs of abused and neglected children and those involved in their care, by providing best practice counseling, legal and educational services. Through research, communications, and training initiatives, we work to expand these programs to prevent abuse and help more children heal.
