History
Founded in 1982 the Prevent Child Abuse Utah (PCAU) has been
a institution that has vowed to help prevent child abuse in all its
forms through programs, services, public awareness activities,
training and education, advocacy and networking.
Marilyn Sandberg started the agency under the name WeberMorgan Child Abuse Coordinating Council with the goal of
educating the public about child abuse. Marilyn worked as the
Chief Executive Director until 2003 and during her 17 years with
the agency many developments were made towards the education
of children, parents, and the public about the prevention of child
abuse. Marilyn went on to work for the National Center on
Shaken Baby Syndrome.
In 1986, the first Annual Child and Family Violence
Conference was held to gather professionals together to advance
the prevention of child abuse and family violence.
