In an emergency situation, call 911 immediately
Arizona Child Abuse Hotline: 1-888-SOS-CHILD (1-888-767-2445)
We all play a role in the safety and well-being of children.
Reporting suspected child abuse, neglect, exploitation or abandonment is a responsible attempt to protect a child and support their family.
Act to support or protect that child by calling the free hotline.
Prevention
Children learn by example, which is why it is important for parents to set the very best example for their children. As a role model, you set the tone for the adults they will become. As a parent, you have an opportunity to create an environment for your children to thrive.
Intervention
Arizona teens in foster care have the opportunity to develop the skills and competencies necessary for a successful transition to adulthood through available services known as the Arizona Young Adult Program (AYAP) or Independent Living Program (ILP).
