Child abuse and neglect remain serious public health concerns in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, millions of children are involved in child protective services investigations each year, with neglect being the most commonly reported concern.

Rather than separating families during treatment, WCP allows children to remain with their mothers while they receive care.
