Child Abuse Prevention Month Event

Join us on April 7, 2026, as we recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month with a community-focused Child Abuse Prevention Event. This meaningful gathering will include Mandatory Reporter Training by DCF to empower attendees with the knowledge to protect children, followed by a special proclamation reading reaffirming our shared commitment to child safety. The event will also feature a Pinwheel Placement Ceremony, symbolizing hope and a bright future for every child, along with a blue nail‑painting activity, where participants paint one nail blue to raise awareness and stand in solidarity against child abuse.

Together, we can make a difference—one action, one voice, and one child at a time.
