Welcome to ProtectChild.org

APECA mobilizes people and resources in the fight against sexual exploitation and abuse. Our vision: a world that protects children and adults from exploitation and abuse and values everyone. APECA offers the following free services:

• Community awareness training, workshops, and informational tables at schools, organizations, special events, etc. to promote awareness on all aspects of sexual exploitation, abuse and self-injury.
• Support activities for teens who are at-risk or recovering from self-injury and abuse
• Life skills workshops for children and teens

APECA's eight-bed home in Arizona will soon offer a safe haven for teens (under the age of 18) recovering from sexual trauma due to exploitation and abuse. Teens at NATALIE'S HOUSE will receive shelter, food and clothing. In addition, they will have an intensive recovery program including outings and educational strategies to assist them in making the transition to a normal, healthy life.
