Ending Abuse
The Granite State Children’s Alliance helps break the cycle of abuse by improving prosecution rates of abusers and putting their victims on a path to healing. We also strive to prevent abuse before it happens by educating people throughout the State of New Hampshire. Ending abuse requires a public understanding of the depths of the problem and an acceptance that physical and sexual abuse can happen to any child.
