COUNCIL COURIER
Meet Nicholle Probst!
We are excited to share with you that Nicholle Probst will be moving into the leadership role with PCAIN.
A note from Nicholle:
I am honored to join Prevent Child Abuse Indiana and continue advancing prevention efforts across our state. Much of my career has been dedicated to building strong collaborations and implementing strategies to prevent child abuse and neglect. Having previously served on Child Protection Teams, Child Fatality Review Teams, and Multidisciplinary Teams, I bring a wide array of experience in strengthening partnerships to improve prevention and child safety outcomes.
For more than a decade, I have worked in child welfare and nonprofit leadership, with a strong focus on prevention and family support. As the Senior Director of Zero2Three at The Villages of Indiana, I oversee statewide early childhood services for children ages 0–3 and lead trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate programming and staff training. Prior to this role, I worked in other child-welfare-serving nonprofits, served on the St. Joseph County Prevention Council and led the Elkhart County Prevention Council. I also spent nearly a decade working with the Department of Child Services, further deepening my commitment to child and family well-being.
With an educational background in social work, focusing on community and organizational development, and a PhD in leadership, I am excited to bring my experience to PCAIN and work alongside all of you in strengthening prevention efforts statewide.
Meet Nicole at our upcoming Statewide Council Meeting on October 21st from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM!
PCAIN is looking into new horizons as we continue our #EyesontheChild campaign with a special focus on internet safety. In 2024, the NCMEC CyberTipline received 20.5 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation, and online enticement reports increased by 192%. Needless to say, this is an issue we simply cannot ignore.
With the amount of time kids spend on the internet, whether it be on Roblox, TikTok or a simple Google search, it is absolutely vital for parents to be in the know on the latest internet trends, platforms and news. PCAIN aims to keep councils informed about major developments in the internet safety world, so stay tuned and check your email for our campaign updates!
2026 Council Rechartering is just around the corner. Once everything is updated and ready to go an email will be sent to with directions and link to the forms for 2026.
2025 #EyesontheChild Campaign Assets
To help spread our campaign message to as many Hoosiers as possible, we have invited councils to utilize the marketing assets under the heading "2025 #EyesontheChild Water and Internet Safety Campaign Resources" on the council portal. These assets include social media posts, flyers, Microsoft Teams backgrounds, talking points, PSAs, and more! Accessing the council portal will require the password HAPPYKIDSHAPPYFAMILY.
Campaign Data Collection Meeting
A few weeks ago, we met with involved council members to discuss our expectations for data collection during our campaign. If you weren't able to attend, no worries - catch up by watching the recording at the link below!
Data Collection Resources & Interviews
We have created a few resources for you to record your data, as well as an interview guide for you to review ahead of your scheduled October interview. Access these resources on the council portal, under the header "Data Collection Information".
