HOPE COLLABORATIVE
Since 2013, Family Service Association has been the appointed Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) for Riverside County, known as the HOPE Collaborative. Every day, an average of 63 new cases of child abuse and neglect are reported to Riverside County. One-fourth of those cases demand investigation, which translates into 3,655 of investigations found to be true. Who is affected? All children are vulnerable girls and boys regardless of age, social and economic background or racial and ethnic group. The effects of child abuse last a lifetime and impact every member of our community.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the HOPE Collaborative is to promote the safety of children and prevent abuse and neglect in Riverside County. The HOPE Collaborative accomplishes this mission through the coordination and facilitation of interagency collaboration; efforts to raise community awareness; education and training of professionals, parents and the community; services to child abuse victims and families impacted by abuse and neglect; and advocacy efforts influencing public policy.
