The Children’s Trust Fund (CTF) leads statewide efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect by supporting parents and strengthening families. CTF reaches families across Massachusetts.
For Families
We fund over 100 family support and parenting education programs in communities throughout Massachusetts. Parents can join support groups; families can attend activities at Family Centers; and young, first-time parents can enroll in a home-visiting program to get information, support and referrals. For a listing of programs in your region, please see the Parent Resources pages.
For Professionals
We also offer a variety of training and technical assistance opportunities to professionals who work with families and children. Our programs include training in Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention, helping fathers be involved in raising their children, and the prevention of child abuse. To learn more about the opportunities we offer professionals, please see the For Professionals pages.
