Welcome!
We believe our support of programs and initiatives that promote positive parenting practices and
encourage strong, healthy families will ensure a brighter future for all Arkansans.
Arkansas Children's Trust Fund
The Arkansas Children’s Trust Fund provides a permanent
funding source for the prevention of child abuse in
Arkansas.  Collected funds are disbursed in the form of
grants to organizations or individuals that operate programs
with a proven child abuse prevention component.
What's New
Arkansas Parenting Education Network
Arkansas Parenting Education Network (APEN) works to
advance the field of parenting education.  We do this by
emphasizing the need for and support of parenting
education, providing professional development
opportunities for parent educators from various disciplines,
and supporting a statewide network of programs that
provide parenting education.
Special Projects
The Board occasionally engages in collaborative efforts with
other organizations or undertakes initiatives of its own.  To
