“When I was a medical student, I learned that very little was being done to prevent child abuse. As I learned what could be done, I realized that most abusive parents learned from what they experienced as children. I chose to try to remedy the situation by forming community-based resource teams to help fill the gaps in these parenting skills. CCFH is an organization that helps parents learn these better skills before abuse occurs.”
