April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. This month we are encouraged to get involved with community organizations that promote the health and welfare of families in our community.
Nurturing and effective parenting are critical to a child’s health, development and lifelong well-being. Children need parents who can identify, meet and advocate for their needs. While all parents want to do their best, they cannot always do it alone. By recognizing and building upon the strengths of the family and the community, we can partner with parents and caregivers as they work to strengthen their families to provide a safe and loving environment for their children. Support the organizations in our community that are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our children and families.
