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.

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.

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.
