April is Child Abuse Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness and preventing child abuse and neglect. It's a moment to amplify the voices of those affected, educate our communities, and commit to creating safer environments for all children. This year, on Friday, April 4th, we are wearing 💙BLUE💙 to show our support for child abuse prevention. Blue symbolizes the innocence and fragility of childhood, and wearing it is a visible commitment to standing against abuse. Join us!
