The prevention of child abuse and neglect is an essential part of creating healthy communities and a central part of the mission of the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) which is for all children to be safe, healthy, and thriving in every Nevada community. For this reason, DCFS tasked Prevent Child Abuse Nevada (PCANV) housed under the UNLV Nevada Institute for Children’s Research and Policy (NICRP) to conduct a needs assessment in order to identify key priority areas to be addressed in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
