About the Council

A Leader Since 1982

Established in 1982 as the Washington Council for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, the Council for Children & Families was the first state agency nationwide dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect.

Since our inception, we have been a leader in promoting child and family development and raising awareness about abuse and neglect.

We are led by a 15-member council including:

State legislators
Representatives from other government agencies
Seven community leaders appointed by the governor

CCF is funded by the state’s general fund, the federal Community Based Child Abuse Prevention program, the Children’s Trust fund and private donations.
