Dear Friends of Families
Oh, how we grow!
This is the theme for both April 2009 and for our entire 30th Anniversary year.
Building healthy kids sets the foundation for a better future for all of us. Kids are our future leaders, workers, parents and citizens. We all have a part to play in building healthier kids and families, and in laying a strong foundation for the future.
We hope you will join in celebrating and promoting April – Child Abuse Prevention Month. During April, advocates across the country coordinate to educate the public about child abuse and neglect, and about the importance of prevention. Each year, with your help, we distribute more than 100,000 blue ribbons and hundreds of thousands of brochures full of parenting tips.
This year our April Campaign focuses the importance of the entire community in building healthy children and families. Parents and children do not exist in a bubble; they exist in a community of teachers, doctors, professionals, neighbors, coaches, ministers, and other people. Each one has a role to play in making sure that parents feel supported and confident, and that children grow up in healthy nurturing environments.
The April Campaign packets are being printed and mailed out. Electronic versions of the packet materials are available below. These materials are also available below. Feel free to print and duplicate this information. If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth Hundley at ehundley@preventchildabusenc.org.
