The Kempe Mission
We address child maltreatment by improving the well-being of children and families, strengthening their communities, and improving the systems serving them through evidence-informed services, transformative research, learner-centered education, and effective advocacy, all through an equity lens.
About the Kempe Center
The Kempe Center was the first of its kind, established in 1972 to better understand and prevent child maltreatment and to serve affected children and their families. For the past 51 years, Kempe has promoted understanding, knowledge, and best practices to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect globally. Today we honor our legacy while looking ahead for ways to transform our field.

Join the CARE Network as a Designated Provider!
Expertise to conduct medical exams and behavioral health assessments to evaluate suspected cases of child abuse and neglect is extremely limited. The CARE Network's aim is to increase local capacity by building appropriate infrastructure to provide technical assistance and resources through a state-funded program that develops and maintains a standardized, coordinated response to suspected child abuse and neglect through a network of designated healthcare providers.
