2026 Georgia Conference on Child Abuse Prevention

Join professionals from across Georgia for a full day of engaging workshops focused on the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child maltreatment. This conference brings together experts and practitioners dedicated to supporting children and families through innovative strategies and collaborative approaches. This annual conference is proudly hosted by PCA Georgia and the Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy. Families across our state are navigating a landscape of change---from economic uncertainty to shifts in community resources and support. In this moment, collective care---how we strengthen families, build community, and act together---offers a powerful path toward prevention, resilience, and hope. The 2026 theme, "Collective Care in the Storm" highlights how centering families, strengthening relationships, and building community-driven solutions can prevent child abuse and neglect, promote resilience, and support healing---even in the face of real challenges. This conference will explore how prevention happens not in isolation, but through shared responsibility, collaboration, and care across systems, neighborhoods, and cultures.
