about the children's trust

The Children’s Trust is on a mission to stop child abuse in Massachusetts.

We give parents the tools and resources to build self-confidence and gain lifelong skills to ensure children grow up safe and healthy.

“Because more fathers joined the playgroup, these dads feel less stressed and their homes are better places for their children.”

Todd, Great Barrington, MA
