April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

Why the Pinwheel: 

The Pinwheel has been adopted nationally as a symbol of child abuse/neglect prevention. It symbolizes the stable, healthy and protected childhood all children deserve.  Pinwheels and pinwheel gardens help to create awareness of the issue and of the role all of us can and should play in insuring the development and growth of all children. Shining in the sun, the pinwheel is reflective of the bright future all children deserve.

During the month of April, we invite you to use the pinwheel to show your support for children and families in our community.

We need your help during Child Abuse Prevention Month.

With your help, we can increase awareness and promote a community conversation about child abuse prevention.  Please feel free to use these resources on your personal and organizational social media platforms.
