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.

“Healthy Families helped me every step along the way. I don’t know where I would be without the program.”

Norland, Worcester, MA
