Our Voices
Prevention is possible—and we know what it takes: stable relationships, economic security, access to support, and communities that wrap around families instead of isolating them.”
Jennifer Valenzuela, Children’s Trust Executive Director
Being a father isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being present. And when we help professionals really see dads, really hear them, we open doors that can change the whole trajectory of a family.
Steven Pascal, Children’s Trust Director of Home Visiting
My message is simple: This work is urgent, and it’s possible. With support from donors, agencies, professionals and people like you, the Children’s Trust can continue to work toward a future where every child can thrive.
Kate Haranis, Chair of the Children’s Trust Board of Directors
