June marks Internet Safety Month—a vital time to focus on protecting children and families in our increasingly digital world. At the Massachusetts Children’s Alliance, we are committed to empowering caregivers, educators, and young people with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the internet safely and confidently.
The Massachusetts Children’s Alliance is honored to present Lisa Goldblatt Grace with the 2025 One with Courage Award at our 15th Annual Statewide Conference, Healing, Hope, and Justice: An Advanced Conversation, on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at the Sheraton in Framingham, MA.
Our 15th Annual Statewide Conference is right around the corner!
Each year, our conference brings together over 300 professionals from across Massachusetts—including law enforcement, victim advocates, mental health providers, forensic interviewers, child protection workers, and CAC staff—for a day of advanced training, peer learning, and meaningful conversations.

January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month. We’re dedicated to protecting children from commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking. Together with our Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) and Multidisciplinary Team Members (MDTs), we’re working to strengthen communities and create safer environments for all children.
This holiday season, we invite you to join us in “Sharing the Spirit of Hope” with children across Massachusetts who are facing unimaginable challenges. At the Massachusetts Children’s Alliance (MACA), our mission is to pioneer the most promising, leading-edge ways that help victims of child abuse receive the best possible care. But we can’t do it without the support of caring individuals like you.
Today, the Massachusetts Children’s Alliance reaffirms its unwavering commitment to uplift and amplify the voices of children and families silenced by abuse—especially those who face heightened violence and trauma. Children of color, new arrivals, LGBTQ+ youth, and children with disabilities are disproportionately affected, and our resolve to stand with them is stronger than ever.
As we settle in to the new school year, MACA is pleased to provide a comprehensive set of Back to School resources focused on recognizing and responding to child abuse. These materials are designed to support parents, teachers, and other adults working with children during this transitional period.
