April is the national observation of Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month. 

This year’s theme is Building Together: Prevention in Partnerships.  We all have a role to play in ensuring children have positive experiences and families have the resources they need.

Each April, we launch our Pinwheels for Prevention^® campaign.  The pinwheel in our logo was chosen as a national symbol of prevention because it is whimsical and evokes childlike notions, exemplifying the happy, healthy and safe childhoods all children deserve.  Everyone is welcome to “plant” a pinwheel garden. Our Big Pinwheel Garden will be held on Friday, April 21 at 11 am at the Essex & Sussex in Spring Lake.

To help us kick off Child Abuse Prevention Month, join us on Wear Blue Day – Friday, March 31 – and post photos of yourself, your family, or even your pet wearing blue to show your support for children and families.
