Hello Friends of Prevention,
April is Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month and nearly 500,000 pinwheels have been distributed nationwide by Prevent Child Abuse America as the centerpiece of our new campaign Pinwheels for Prevention (that we informed you of in last month's newsletter). Through out chapters in 47 state and Healthy Families America sites in over 400 communities, Prevent Child Abuse America works to provide healthy, stable, and stimulating experiences for children in communities across the country. Prevent Child Abuse America highlights the fact that we all play a role in raising children whether we are neighbors, teachers, polic officers, librarians, mentors, coaches, or family members. In April, as well as year around, we want to highlight how you can become involved with Child Abuse Prevention efforts in your community. |
