Child Abuse Awareness Month
Every April, communities across the United States unite to recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month—a month dedicated to raising awareness about child abuse and promoting actions that protect children.
In 1983, United States of America proclaimed April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month to highlight the critical issue of child maltreatment and to inspire preventive strategies that support child well-being.
This month emphasizes the importance of awareness, education, and collective responsibility in fostering safer environments for children. From local campaigns to national initiatives, individuals can participate in events, access resources, and use symbols like the blue ribbon and pinwheels to take meaningful steps toward ending child abuse in all its forms.
There will be events throughout the state of Pennsylvania and Montgomery County. For more information, please check the link below.
