The Center for Child Protection and Family Support has promoted healthy children and families since 1987. We’re helping ensure more children mature and develop free of maltreatment. The Center offers community-level programs directly to children and their families, and trains professionals on child welfare issues. Most of our services are provided at no cost or for a modest fee, and we address the diverse cultures and ethnic backgrounds of families.

We work closely with schools, parents, public agencies, private organizations, citizens at large and many other sources to support children and families.

The Center was co-founded by Joyce Thomas, who is a pediatric nurse and Carl H. Rogers, a psychologist. Ms. Thomas is an internationally known authority on child abuse. She is also past president of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children. Ms. Thomas has advised the White House, Congress and numerous other policymakers at all levels of government.
