SCAN
SCAN (Stop Child Abuse and Neglect), we believe that every child deserves to be safe, loved and nurtured. SCAN’s mission is to protect children, prepare parents, strengthen families and educate our community to Stop Child Abuse and Neglect.
At SCAN, we work with families in their time of greatest need. Often times, child abuse or neglect has taken place in the home, and children are afraid, scared to trust the people who are supposed to love them.
