💙 Child Abuse Prevention Month |
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, show support, and stand together for the safety and well‑being of children.
📅 Wednesday, April 8 is Ohio Wears Blue Day — a statewide reminder that preventing child abuse takes an entire community. Thank you to everyone joining us by wearing blue and taking a stand 💙
📊 Did you know? In Ohio, approximately 20,000 cases of child abuse and neglect are substantiated each year, impacting children and families in every community across the state.
Protecting children is not the job of one agency alone. It takes schools, law enforcement, social workers, nurses, medical professionals, educators, advocates, and caring neighbors all working together to create safe, supportive environments for kids.
💙 Thank you to our community partners and frontline professionals who show up for children every day.
💙 Thank you for raising awareness and being part of the solution.
💙 Together, we can help ensure every child grows up safe, supported, and protected.
