Faces of Prevention

Do you know someone in Massachusetts who is making a real difference for families? Faces of Prevention  honors the unsung heroes—members of the family support workforce and other staff—who are addressing the root causes of child abuse and neglect in their communities. 

This is a great opportunity to highlight the dedicated individuals making a positive impact and creating lasting change for families and communities across Massachusetts.
