Our History
Since 1985, PEI Kids has served the Greater Mercer County community with the mission of promoting and maintaining a safe environment for all children. PEI Kids began as Prevention Education, Inc., when our founders, who worked at a rape crisis center, discovered there were no prevention programs for children in Mercer County regarding child sexual abuse and child assault prevention.
Among our initial successes was implementing one of the first Child Assault Prevention (CAP) projects in New Jersey, which the Governor’s Task Force on Child Abuse & Neglect selected as the first primary prevention program in the state. Since that time, our services have expanded to include programs in the following areas:
Counseling for Child Victims of Sexual Abuse
Cyber-Safety/Preventing Online Exploitation
Support Services for Children in Foster Care
School Safety & Bullying Prevention
Support for Youth Victims of Gang Violence
Managing Aggression & Violence
Delinquency Prevention
Child Abuse Prevention
Teen Dating Safety
