Home - April

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Every adult has the power and responsibility to keep children safe. 
You can BE THE ONE in the life of a child and help end child abuse.

To a child, it doesn’t matter who you are, it matters what action you take.
Everyone can be part of the solution: teachers, parents, community members and friends.

It all starts with a conversation.  
Learn the facts, talk to children, listen to children, and act responsibly.
