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.

“I think that Healthy Families is important because it gives young parents, like myself, the guidance we need.”

Tae’voahn, Boston, MA
