ABOUT TSPCAN

The Turkish Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect was founded in 1988 with a multidisciplinary approach towards the problem which was almost unrecognized in those years in Turkey. The Society gradually expanded and today has more than 300 members throughout the country. Having a common mission with ISPCAN, TSPCAN has organized many conferences, symposia and congresses to increase awareness of child abuse and neglect, offered trainings to different professionals in identification, management and working together, and initiated services for prevention. In 2001 the ISPCAN European Conference was held in Istanbul. TSPCAN became a National Partner of ISPCAN in 2006. TSPCAN also offers trainings for family members who need guidance while raising their children.
