State Prevention Conference

An Important Update about the 2020 Child Abuse Prevention Conference

Prevent Child Abuse Iowa has been closely monitoring the evolving situation with the COVID-19 global pandemic. On March 17th, Governor Reynolds issued a State of Public Health Disaster Emergency that includes the prohibition of mass gatherings over 10 people in an effort to slow the spread of the virus and lessen the impact on the healthcare system.

The planning committee has decided to cancel the 2020 Child Abuse Prevention Conference.

We are currently working through several details and request your patience as we work through the changes moving forward.

Attendee Registration

All registration fees will be 100% refunded. Please allow for one week to receive your refund confirmation email.

Community Heroes: We Still Need You!

In these challenging and uncertain times, we still heed the words of Mr. Rogers: “Look for the helpers.”

Though we cannot recognize our 2020 Community Heroes in person at the Conference Award Luncheon, they still deserve our appreciation and acknowledgement!

Community Hero nominations will still be accepted until April 5, 2020. The award recipients will be recognized via email newsletter, social media, and if possible, a small recognition event in their community.  Nominate a community hero here!

Please consider those in your community who have gone above and beyond in the life of families and the community, to make our state a safer place for children. We are seeking to honor Iowans throughout the state who make a positive and significant impact on our community, exemplifying the spirit of our mission to provide safe and happy childhoods.
