- NCA advocates for sustainable funding for victims’ services, such as the VOCA Fix, which has resulted in significant funding increases for the Crime Victims Fund, ensuring continued support for children and families affected by abuse[1].
- NCA trains millions of people in child abuse prevention, which helps in identifying and stopping child abuse, thereby contributing to community well-being and safety[1][4].
- Efforts to adapt services for Native American communities and other underserved groups ensure that all children, regardless of their background, receive the care and support they need[1].
