Public Education & Awareness

The Children's Trust Fund (CTF) engages in public education campaigns to heighten the awareness and importance of child abuse and neglect prevention. CTF offers a variety of literature including brochures, posters, booklets and videos that support Missouri's families and their children in making healthy decisions.  CTF continues to look for public education opportunities that work in conjunction with statewide prevention programs to promote child resiliency and reduce risk.

The campaigns are featured on billboard, print, radio and cable television advertisements throughout Missouri:
